HOMO NALEDI: The Inside Story ~ with NatGeo Explorer KENEILOE MOLOPYANE
Dr Keneiloe Molopyane is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Centre for the Exploration of the Deep Human Journey and a National Geographic Society Emerging Explorer, 2021. Having begun as an underwater archaeologist, she ended up as an 'underground astronaut' squeezing through the claustrophobic passageways of South Africa's Rising Star Cave, site of a massive cache of bones belonging to hominid, Homo naledi.
MARK from Evolution Soup dives deep with Keneiloe, in a fully-illustrated interview exploring the twists and turns of the Rising Star Cave, the bones that were found there, and the tantalizing theories as to why these mysterious hominids deposited their dead there...

Life's Big Bang - The Story of the Cambrian Explosion ~ with SHUHAI XIAO
What ignited the famed Cambrian Explosion? The majority of today's animal phyla got their start in this strange yet exciting period of time over five hundred million years ago. What triggered this radiation of life, some with shells, others with skeletons? What were the first predators? And what came before this period?
DR SHUHAI XIAO is a paleobiologist and geobiologist who studies the interactions between the biosphere and its environments at critical transitions in Earth history, particularly during the Ediacaran-Cambrian transition.
MARK from Evolution Soup chats with Shuhai about the Cambrian, why it may have produced so many new animal types, and the even more mysterious period of time before the Cambrian, the period known as the Ediacaran.

The Seven-Million-Year-Long Journey - Why Humans Stood Upright ~ with JEREMY DESILVA
What caused the ancestors of human beings start walking upright? The seven-million-year-long-journey started in the trees of Africa and culminates in Homo sapiens dominance of the globe. But the answers to 'why' and 'when' are still elusive.
JEREMY DESILVA is an anthropologist at Dartmouth College. Jeremy ('Jerry') specializes in the locomotion of the first apes and early human ancestors. His most recent work focuses on the origins and evolution of upright walking in the human lineage.
In this Evolution Soup Special, host MARK talks with Jerry about the various theories relating to bipedality and specifically about recent hominid discoveries Australopithecus sediba and Homo naledi.

MEGALODON - The Shark That Ate Whales ~ with JACK COOPER
The Meg! Did it really exist? (Spoiler alert: it did). This giant of the Miocene seas has been of keen interest to paleontologists for decades. It's true dimensions have never been known until recently.
JACK COOPER is a PhD student working on the functional diversity of sharks through time. His current work focuses on the size, dimensions and reconstruction of the Megalodon shark.
MARK from Evolution Soup talks to Jack about the history of its discovery, what it ate, where it swam, and the new research that he and mentor Catalina Pimiento have recently published, revealing this beast's true, awesome size.

Evolution Gone Wrong? Why Our Bodies Work (or Don't!) ~ with ALEX BEZZERIDES
Evolution is a marvel, but - bad backs? Crooked teeth? Allergies? What gives?
ALEX BEZZERIDES is a professor of biology at Lewis-Clark State College in Idaho, where he teaches a wide range of biology classes, from human anatomy and physiology to entomology. He has a bachelor’s degree in biology and a PhD in neurobiology and behavior.
MARK from Evolution Soup discusses Alex's new book 'Evolution Gone Wrong: The Curious Reasons Why Our Bodies Work (Or Don't)', delving into why the evolutionary process rewarded us with successes as well as lumping us with some pretty annoying failures!

Did Star Trek Get Evolution Right? ~ with Star Trek Science Advisor DR MOHAMED NOOR
DR MOHAMED NOOR is a Professor of Biology at Duke University involved in evolutionary genetics research , looking into how genetic changes contribute to the formation of new species. A keen Star Trek aficionado, he is the author of the book Live Long and Evolve and serves as a Science Advisor on the Paramount Plus series, Star Trek: Discovery.
MARK from Evolution Soup opens hailing frequencies with Dr Noor to discuss how the Star Trek franchise utilizes science and especially the science of biological evolution. Did the writers get it right? Could there be humanoids all throughout our galaxy? And what about tribbles?
