Clear+Vivid with Alan Alda

Rebecca Wragg Sykes – Our Neanderthal Kin

They walk among us. Some percentage of the genes of many modern humans have been handed down to us from Neanderthals. Alan, who has about 2% of those genes, is more than a little excited to hear from expert Rebecca Wragg Sykes how Neanderthals looked, lived and loved. Her new book is Kindred.<a href="https://www.patreon.com/clearandvivid">Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/clearandvivid</a> Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Learn to connect better with others in every area of your life. Immerse yourself in spirited conversations with people who know how hard it is, and yet how good it feels, to really connect with other people – whether it’s one person, an audience or a whole country. You'll know many of the people in these conversations – they are luminaries in our culture. Some you may not know. But what links them all is their powerful ability to relate and communicate. It's something we need now more than ever.
