In our first full-length episode we join Dr. Win McLaughlin of Pomona College and visit Kyrgyzstan, a mountainous Central Asian country that has been a cultural crossroads for millenia and a crossroads for animal life for much, much longer. We discuss how the Kyrgyz landscape formed, the fossils that are the focus of Win's research, and the important role that Kyrgyzstan has played in the story of mammal evolution in Asia, Europe, and even North America. We also talk about how the country's geography and wildlife have shaped its culture and about how you can experience Kyrgyzstan's natural and cultural heritage firsthand.
