Science Friday · Squirrel poop drops Ice Age clues + The neuroscience of laughter · 29 Jun 2026 podcast

In part because people aren't as interested in squirrels, so there hasn't been as much effort into their own taxonomic evolutionary history.

So we've definitely, the one at 700,000 years old seems like a totally different thing.

And then the ones that are even there today are probably actually several species that have been grouped together into one thing.

I feel like definitely now I realize, oh yeah, well, and especially from an environmental DNA perspective, just realizing, you know, we're shedding millions of skin cells every day.

There's just so much DNA being released.

And yeah, poop is full of DNA, but also we're just kind of like, you know, the character Pigpen from Charlie Brown, just releasing information, all these like, you know, incredibly small molecules of DNA all the time.

So there's kind of gold mines all over the place in all these unsuspecting locations.

Thanks for chatting.

This was great.
