Ending Season Four Talking about Brazil

Rosaceae

This week we go over the domestication of several members of the Rosaceae family. This includes peaches, pears, apricots, almonds, and cherries. This is not all of the Rosaceae and more will be covered later but I hope you'll listen, learn and enjoy as I talk about etymology and locals of some of the most important fruit trees being domesticated during this volume's time frame.

Ending Season Four Talking about Brazil

This week we discuss Brazilian rock art, dating difficulties for some older archeological sites, and differences between favored terminology used by Brazilin archeologists. We also discuss the increase and spread of shell midden or Sambaquis sites as well as how some of these coastal sites revealed the earliest evidence of whaling in the Americas if not the world. Also since I know some of you may say something, I know I mistakenly called Columbus Spanish. I know that he was from Genoa and was only working on behalf of Ferdinand and Isabella.
