JFK himself was transformed from man into legend. But that reading of history can disguise the fascinating and contradictory man behind the myth. JFK - THE MAN BEHIND THE MYTH Streaming Video

Wednesday, 11/22 from 11 am-12 pm NHPBS EXPLORE
When Homo sapiens turned up in prehistoric Europe, they ran into the Neanderthals. The two types of humans were similar enough to interbreed - and they were just as capable of making artifacts. But as more Homo sapiens moved into Europe, there was an explosion of art and symbolic thought. The balance of power had shifted and Neanderthals were overwhelmed. FIRST PEOPLES Streaming Video
