About Let’s Talk Death

Hosted by a Licensed Funeral Director with a degree in Anthropology, Marsy and a musical guru, Zay, join us as we break the stigma surrounding death itself. As life is full of uncertainty, but death is always certain. Talking about our own demise and understanding other cultures and the history surrounding death is an important topic to be educated on.

If the Neanderthals were not the first humans to bury their dead, then who was?

Hello Listeners! In this episode we will be discussing the Homo Naledi who are now believed to be the first of the human ancestors to actually bury their dead - not the Neanderthals. Anthropology is forever changing as we uncover more mysteries to tie into our human evolution timeline. Join us as we discuss what human evolution is, a brief synapse of the timeline of human evolution, and how we found out homo Naledi buried their dead. As always our show notes are posted on our patreon for free. Shout out to our newest patreon, Anthony! Thank you so much for your support!

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
