The earliest period in our human past - the Palaeolithic. This fascinating period covers human evolution and our early innovations as Homo Sapiens. The Palaeolithic really encompasses everything about us as a species...

Why did humans develop art? When do we first see cave art? When did humans start burying the dead?  Professor Paul Pettitt and I discuss all this and much more in the episode - it's all about the Palaeolithic!
