Modern Myth

About Modern Myth

All too often we talk about fake news and alternative facts as if they are new concepts. In reality history itself is constructed, and thus constrained by its authors, we have as a society taken this as truth and unfortunately there is more to history that just the past.

   PROMO - Is Colossal Biosciences lying to you about direwolves? - Ethno 14

   Modern Myth is taking a break this week, so please enjoy this episode of Ethnocynology with David Ian Howe, another excellent show on The Archaeology Podcast Network! In this episode, David talks about the recent news about the direwolves that were “brought back from extinction.” However, as he explains, no direwolves were brought back from extinction, and it seems the company is intentionally lying to the public for one reason or the other. David talks biology, speciation taxonomy, and why it seems the public is being duped.
