Welcome to Origin Stories, the Leaky Foundation podcast.

My name is Meredith Johnson.

Every culture has its origin stories.

We're all curious about ourselves, where we came from, and why we are the way we are.

Origin Stories is the Leaky Foundation's new show about what it means to be human and the science

behind what we know about ourselves. We'll look into the deep past, explore the mysteries of the human

mind, and learn about the biology and the millions of years of evolution that shape the way we

look and act today. We'll talk with researchers from around the world and hear their

stories. So if you've ever wondered what it's like to trek through the jungles of Tanzania in

search of chimpanzees or to be the first person to uncover a fossil that's millions of years old,

please subscribe to origin stories. Our first full episode is coming out in late April.

If you subscribe now on iTunes, SoundCloud, Stitcher, or your favorite podcast app,

the first episode will show up in your feed automatically.

Thanks so much for listening. Thank you.
