  • Résumé

  • A topsy-turvy science-y history podcast by Sam Kean. I examine overlooked stories from our past: the dental superiority of hunter-gatherers, the crooked Nazis who saved thousands of American lives, the American immigrants who developed the most successful cancer screening tool in history, the sex lives of dinosaurs, and much, much more. These are charming little tales that never made the history books, but these small moments can be surprisingly powerful. These are the cases where history gets inverted, where the footnote becomes the real story.

    Machiavellian Microbes

    Parasites can force animals to do nefarious things by manipulating their minds—including, uncomfortably, the minds of human beings.

Love the interesting science stories

The performance is interesting. I enjoy the effort to make it more interesting using sound effects. I love the interesting stories and the science they talk about. Love it. Would recommend for science and history nerds.
