What's New In History - Gorillas on Boats

As Dan would say WHAT??!!

Dan joins Bernie on this episode of What’s New In History where we learn that our hominid ancestors probably were “sailing” something like a HALF MILLION YEARS AGO! What sounds like a crazy theory at first will become much clearer after you hear our brilliant minds discuss this … as well as bigfoot, Chewbacca, South American monkeys, and UFOs. What else can you ask for!
