Were Neanderthals hunted to extinction, or did they simply become us? A special guest returns to help break down one of the most fascinating CARS passages yet.
In this episode of the Jack Westin MCAT CARS Podcast, Molly is joined by a returning co-host, Jack Westin himself, for a passage on the Vindija Neanderthals. It's a passage built around a genuine scientific dichotomy: the "common picture" of Neanderthals as brutish and driven to extinction by modern humans, versus new archaeological and DNA evidence suggesting interbreeding and coexistence. Molly and Jack model exactly how to track an author's evolving argument across six paragraphs, without getting distracted by all the geography, dates, and researcher names along the way.
