human remains that is giving us a sense of how people spread around the world and what connections they had with one another. So my guess is, and it's probably a pretty easy thing to guess, is that there's going to be something big out there.

And it's likely to involve something technological like those two, where you have a sudden breakthrough and it's possible to do something you've not been able to do before.

somewhere in south america you find a genetic marker from 12 000 years ago and it just doesn't make sense it doesn't make sense and you have to and people have to explain it you know and it may take a while it takes science often a lot of time to explain things and there are a lot of kind of false leads and ideas that are put out there that don't last um

I mean, that's just the way, you know, human knowledge, especially scientific knowledge works. But yeah, I think there's going to be, you know, we're going to know in the case of the Pleistocene Extinctions, I think in another 30 or 40 years, there's going to be something, some kind of technological breakthrough that enables us to suddenly know a lot more about this than we've known.

I mean, one to me is our sudden realization that a lack of genetic diversity can be pretty murderous on a species. Because if you start separating a population out so it's not possible for them to breed anymore and exchange genes, they become weak. I mean, there are instances where it's impossible for them to reproduce.

And so I think all of that, that's another variation, obviously, of the genetic revolution. But I think all those things point to some new breakthrough in the future that's going to be fun to see. I mean, I follow a whole bunch of things like that.

Yeah. No, I don't think they're going to get boring. I think it's going to be fun, and we're going to still be interested. Just like all of us are still interested in this. I mean, none of us is really trained in the fields of paleobiology or anything like that, but we find it fascinating to want to understand things. how this happened. And we want to know more about ourselves.
