This week we go over several broad topics that are related to neolithic China. This includes the etymology of the two main rivers, the Yangtze and the Yellow, along which various neolithic cultures emerge. The potential langue spoken and spread by one or more of these cultures, and the broad genetic background of the people who will found the neolithic cultures of China. This is all the sets the stage for next week were we travel up and down the river to talk about cultures like the Yangshao, Cishan, Houli, and many more.
I also went over an brand new article that ties in a little to last week's episode about a Denisovan jawbone found in the Penghu archipelago. Here is the link for those interested in the subject: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.ads3888
