Summary

Mindy is hosting her first neighborhood “Collection Club” meeting where everyone shares their new and unusual collections, from Gramma G-Force’s questionable pile of bones to Mindy’s fuzzy treasures. But things take a fascinating turn for the WOW when Guy Raz reveals a groundbreaking discovery about Neanderthals collecting marine fossils over 40,000 years ago—not for survival, but for fun! The gang marvels at how our ancient relatives might have enjoyed collecting, just like modern humans! It’s the Who, What, When, Where, Why, How, and WOW in the world of collecting clues to our ancient human past!
