This bonus episode comes straight from Professor Steve Black’s Intro to Anthropology class at Georgia State University, who asked us the small questions in life:
– What even IS a person?
– Why do kids stay with parents forever?
– What will future archaeologists think of our plastic dystopia?
Dan and Michael break it all down with the usual mix of academic accuracy, sarcasm, and despair.
