   The Tlaxcalan Giant

   In 1519, the Tlaxcalan Indians of Mexico showed Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes a femur bone the length of person. They explained that the bone had come from a race of giants that their ancestors had driven to extinction. In this episode we look at Neanderthals, megafauna, and human migration into the Americas to try to explain the origins of the Tlaxcalan giant.
