Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's just so wrapped into archaeology for me, but... I guess I can answer it this way. Like I studied stone tools in grad school as well for my master's and like, making stone tools. And the process of that is called flintknapping. And there's so much science and physics that goes into it and skill. And it's kind of works the same area of your brain as chess.

So like Neanderthals made very complex stone tools, Homo erectus did. So to sit down and flintknapp, you really do get into the mind of ancient people and how intelligent they were. Because like, if you've never made a stone tool, like if I handed you one right now, you wouldn't know what to do.

And like I've done it for five years now and I'm nowhere near like an expert at it. But just to sit there and be like, wow. And then like if you imagine sitting around a campfire making stone tools and stuff and then just the dogs running around and things like that, like telling stories around a fire.

I love anthropology because it can get an archaeology like I can get into the mind of somebody who lived that long ago just by like understanding their tools and dogs as an extent of that as well.

Oh, man. Next summer, I think we're doing some more testing out here in Wyoming to look for more sites. Again, it's hard to just pull up a dog. You can only hope. But that would be the next big one. And then if Russia ever opens back up, I'd love to go to Siberia and just hunt in caves for different dogs that are there. Dead dogs, like old, ancient ones.

I have a question for you, if you don't mind. I was asked this at the end of my podcast, but what do dogs mean to you? If you had an answer to that.
