Awful Archaeology Ep. 8: The Nebraska Man

VIDEO INFO: In this video we dive down the rabbit hole of the Nebraska Man. An ancient “set“ of human remain(s) discovered in the late 1910s by a man named Harold Cook. Cook was convinced that the artifact that he had found was evidence of a lost species of great ape, and potentially a human ancestor, native to North America. Join me as we explore the splash that this discovery caused and explore how science can sometimes be just as dogmatic as the world of pseudoscience SWEETLEAF DROP: NEWPORT FOODIE: Special thanks to @newportrifoodie8384 for whipping up the drink for this video!
