Discovering Everything

Humans have been on the move since time immemorial. But with the fabled age of discovery well and truly over are there still geographical mysteries left to uncover? Is there an innate human capacity for exploration and what drives our desire to venture into uncharted territory? In this week’s podcast, we discuss discovery. Is human exploration a metaphysical quest in search of the unknown or is it a process that simply assists technological advancement? We discuss the long history of human migration, some of the quirkier recent human discoveries and ponder the unconquerable vastness of space. We suggest where you are likely to find the next frontier of discovery and consider the daring peregrinations of our ancient ancestors. A few things we mentioned in this podcast: - Berkner Island https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkner_Island - Sandy Island, New Caledonia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_Island,_New_Caledonia - 65% of Earth Is Unexplored https://sentientmedia.org/earth-is-unexplored/#:~:text=Still%2C%20we've%20only%20mapped,percent%20of%20the%20Earth%20unexplored - Hypothetical star https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothetical_star *Maybe the age of discovery isn't over just yet.
