| What Happened To The Neandertals? | 25 Jul 2022 | 00:17:16 | |
Studies have found Neandertal DNA in people living in - and descended from - populations in Europe, Asia, and, most recently, Africa. So, in a way, these ancient relatives of ours are somehow both here and gone. We know we shared the planet with them in the not-so-distant past… But what happened to them?

| Who Were The Denisovans? | 11 Jul 2022 | 00:20:44 | |
The Denisovans are a human relative discovered just over a decade ago. The DNA from the very small number of fossils found suggest they were around as long as the Neanderthals. Yet anthropologists have gathered way more evidence for Neanderthals. Where are the Denisovans hiding? Eons: Mysteries of Deep Time is produced by Complexly for PBS. | |||
| Introducing Eons: Mysteries of Deep Time | 08 Mar 2022 | 00:00:47 | |
Dig into the past and explore the greatest mysteries of natural history with the team behind the hit YouTube series PBS Eons. From the dawn of the dinosaurs to downtown Los Angeles, we’re covering what we know — and what we still don’t know — about the history of life on Earth. Eons: Mysteries of Deep Time is produced by Complexly for PBS. | |||
| What Did The Past Sound Like? | 27 Jun 2022 | 00:17:13 | |
How do we start to reconstruct the soundscapes of the past? Using modern environments, living representatives of ancient groups, and fossil anatomy, paleontologists have attempted to figure out what the past sounded like. And so far we’ve found the lead singers change, but the backup singers remain familiar. Eons: Mysteries of Deep Time is produced by Complexly for PBS. | |||
| The Lost Human Fossils of World War II | 13 Jun 2022 | 00:18:11 | |
Between 1927 and 1937, paleontologists excavated fossils from about 40 members of the species that today we call Homo erectus from a site in China known as Dragon Bone Hill. And then World War II broke out and the fossils were lost. In this episode, we trace their path as far as the historical record will take us and explore what might’ve happened to them after their last sighting in early December, 1941. Eons: Mysteries of Deep Time is produced by Complexly for PBS. | |||
| Why Do We Care About What Happened Millions Of Years Ago? (Mailbag Episode with Hank Green) | 31 May 2022 | 00:40:03 | |
Former host of Eons and our current boss Hank Green joins Kallie, Michelle, and Blake for a Q&A episode where we discuss everything from why all this matters to what specifically did sauropods taste like? Eons: Mysteries of Deep Time is produced by Complexly for PBS. | |||
| The Strange Graveyard At The Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry | 16 May 2022 | 00:19:05 | |
There's something strange about the Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry. The fossils found there date back to the Late Jurassic Period and one species accounts for roughly two-thirds of all the bones: Allosaurus fragilis. But what killed all these big predators? Was the site itself a deadly trap, like the La Brea Tar Pits? Or was it a poisoned spring? Or was it simply a watering hole? This episode will dig into the mystery of this dinosaur graveyard.

| The Extinct Human Species Discovered Deep Within A Cave System | 25 Apr 2022 | 00:22:21 | |
Deep in the Rising Star Cave system lies a mystery of paleoanthropology: a chamber filled with the bones of Homo naledi. How this species evolved, how it’s related to us and other human relatives, and how it got so deep in the caves are among the many open questions researchers are trying to answer, and what they’re starting to uncover might mean changing our minds about what behaviors we think of as uniquely human.

| What Was The First Dinosaur? | 11 Apr 2022 | 00:18:57 | |
Exactly where and when dinosaurs first evolved are still open questions in paleontology; it’s hard to even say what the first dinosaur was. In this episode, we dig into the evidence for dinosaur origins in the Triassic Period (between 252 and 201 million years ago) and try to understand the world they lived in. Being able to point to the first dinosaur might tell us something about how the biggest mass extinction of all time influenced the course of life on our planet.

| The Case of the Most Famous Fake Human Fossil | 28 Mar 2022 | 00:19:22 | |
This episode is a mystery in the most classic literary sense of the word. It’s a whodunit detective story that spans more than a century - the saga of the Piltdown Man Hoax. From a gravel pit in Sussex, we follow the faked fossils through history, to what’s now the Natural History Museum in London, where scientists are using new technologies to try to unravel the identity of the fraudster, and explore how this hoax impacted the study of human origins.

| The Only Human In The La Brea Tar Pits | 14 Mar 2022 | 00:16:52 | |
While the famous La Brea Tar Pits are well-known for charismatic Ice Age megafauna, like sabertooth cats and dire wolves, a lesser-known discovery from the Pits is the partial skeleton of a human woman. In this episode, we walk through what the Tar Pits can tell us about the ecosystem of Los Angeles over the last 50,000 years and why La Brea Woman remains such a mystery.

| The Eons Podcast is returning! | 21 Sep 2024 | 00:00:22 | |
Season 2 of the Eons podcast is coming soon! This season will be a longform exploration of a question we’re often asked: how long could a human survive if they were dropped into a particular period of the geologic past? | |||

| Could You Survive The Devonian Period? (with Hank Green!) | 01 Oct 2024 | 00:55:10 | |
By the end of the Devonian Period, the land had exploded with plant life and ancient invertebrates. There was also Tiktaalik - one of the first known vertebrates able and willing to move from the water to land. Our distant relative figured out how to survive in this dramatically different environment, can you? Eons is a production of Complexly for PBS Digital Studios.

| Could You Survive The Cambrian Explosion? | 15 Oct 2024 | 00:43:50 | |
In the ocean, the Cambrian Period was one of startling evolutionary innovations, but on land, it was barren, with no vegetation of any kind. In this strange world before plants made their way onto land… could you survive? Eons is a production of Complexly for PBS Digital Studios.

| Could You Survive The End-Ordovician Extinction? | 29 Oct 2024 | 00:50:45 | |
The End-Ordovician Extinction was the first of the so-called ‘Big Five’ mass extinctions in the history of life on Earth - more than 80% of species in the oceans died out.

| Could You Survive The Great Dying? | 26 Nov 2024 | 00:55:41 | |
A catastrophic volcanic event in the Late Permian Period caused the biggest mass extinction of all time - known to us as the Great Dying. As a result, a large majority of terrestrial life would disappear, but our ancestors had the adaptations (and the healthy dose of luck) needed to survive – but would you? -- Eons is a production of Complexly for PBS Digital Studios.

| Could You Survive The Carboniferous? | 12 Nov 2024 | 00:54:23 | |
The swamps of the Late Carboniferous Period teemed with giant insects, but it’s time for the amniotes - the ancestors of all reptiles, birds, and mammals to come - to earn the title of Fully Terrestrial Vertebrates. It’s getting more crowded on land - could you survive? -- Eons is a production of Complexly for PBS Digital Studios.

| Could You Survive The End-Triassic? | 10 Dec 2024 | 00:55:03 | |
In the aftermath of the Great Dying, rapid evolutionary radiation resulted in the rise of a bunch of weird creatures in the Triassic Period. But life at the end of the period, including the earliest dinosaurs, faced yet another catastrophic extinction event.

| Could You Survive Living With Other Hominin Species? | 18 Feb 2025 | 01:11:58 | |
Today, we Homo sapiens are used to being the only hominin on the planet, but in the Early Pleistocene Epoch, other upright-walking, tool-wielding, large-brained hominins roamed the Earth. In a time when behavior might be the key tool to survival, could you? -- Eons is a production of Complexly for PBS Digital Studios.
