Archaeogenetics

Meera Senthilingam

Helen Scales

This week we're digging deep into the world of archaeogenetics to find out how genetics is helping unearth information on the origin, life and spread of our ancestors. We hear about the life of Otzi the 5000 year old ice man as well as reveal the first ever sufferer of Tuberculosis. We'll also be finding out what happens inside the body of a locust to make it switch from loner to gang member. Plus we let the rhythm take control in Question of the Week!
