About this episode
The episode explores the origins of various foods and the dietary choices of early humans.
Who discovered popcorn – and how? Who thought that oysters were edible? And who was the first person to decide to drink milk? This time, Jame leads the podcast down the rabbit hole of how we came to the diet we have today – and Colin shares our gratitude to early humans who ate a lot of really nasty (and deadly) stuff.
