Peter and Russell will uncover the stories behind these legendary wonders, revealing the brilliance and ambition that drove their creation and their eventual downfall.

Did you know that the Neanderthals were not the only other human species that lived? At one time we shared this planet with about 5 other "homo" species and we believe our human ancestry was made up of at least 14 other human species. This week Peter and Russell will take a look at our ancestral family tree and find out what other hominins lived before and while we were around. What did we share with them? What did we learn from them? and most important of all What happened to them and why are we the only one's left?

Have you ever heard a "fact" and thought, wow that's really interesting? Maybe you heard something and thought it was so enjoyable to know that you have repeated it yourself. How do you know it's true? Join Peter and Russell as we take a look at some of the famous facts that people have been told that have turned out to be untrue. Why did we believe them in the first place? Where did they come from? and how do we know that they're not true?
