Interview: Hobbits, Neanderthals, and Dragon Man with Ella Al-Shamahi

Paleoanthropologist Ella Al-Shamahi joins Hakeem to reveal a forgotten era when Homo sapiens coexisted with at least seven other human species. From Neanderthal culture to ancient DNA rewriting history, Ella dives into human origins—and reflects on her own personal journey from creationism to leading evolutionary scientist.
