Australopithecines, Hominids, Little Foot and Mrs. Ples - do you know who your ancestors are?

Dig it Podlings! In our 123 Listen 2 Me Archeology episode coming to you from the Cradle of Humankind, we dig into our past to find out who our ancestors really are. We meet two new friends - Mrs. Ples and Little Foot - two famous australopithecine fossils - AUSTRALO - WHO? WHAT?

Our guide from Sterkfontain cave gives us some great insight into how Little Foot might have ended up in the cave. Was Little Foot being pursued by a Sabre Tooth cat? There is still a lot to be discovered as the excavations continue.

We learn how to translate "cave" into different languages and in Vocabwise, our words of the podcast are "Evolution" and "Paleontologist".

Did you know why the hair stands up on the back of our necks? Do you know where the word Dinosaur comes from? What do you think prehistoric people ate? You won't believe how old we are... you can find out all about it in Funfacts.

Hey! HE'S BACK! We know you missed him. Is that a snake we hear slithering up behind Robert? Will he become snake snack? Hear Part 1 of Robert's new adventure: Robert the Rabbit and the Circus in Town.

All this, plus great jokes in the chuckle corner, equals a fun Podcast #29.
