Inbreeding Christians, Unreadable Text, and Boats Built in Plain Sight - Ep 278
Manage episode 438913262 series 1364064
The first news story this week used DNA to find out some interesting things about some Christians in Spain. Not only were they inbreeding, likely to keep their faith and lines pure, but they had small pox and some other interesting characteristics. Next we learn about a small disc found on the island of Crete with an unreadable script on it. Finally, how did early Scandinavian’s build boats? Perhaps the evidence has always been there.
