Paul Pettitt: Homo Sapiens Rediscovered

<div>In this week's Book Club podcast my guest is the palaeoarchaeologist Paul Pettitt - whose new book <em>Homo Sapiens Rediscovered </em>explains how new scientific techniques have transformed the way we understand the deep past. He described to me the long and hazardous journey of H. Sap out of Africa - and along the way explains what's so good about mammoths, how cutting-edge cognitive science explains Paleolithic art, why cavemen didn't live in caves... and why you can draw a line from prehistoric Lascaux to Tony the Tiger.</div>
