Is magic real? Ancient Alien theorists claim that it is, but not really. They claim that descriptions of magic are just misunderstood alien technology. Together with Archaeosoup and Michelle Franklin, we are going to investigate these theories. We'll cover modern magicians, the famous Merlin, and whether Moses from the Bible had access to alien technology.

In this premiere episode of Ethnocynology with David Ian Howe, David speaks for 30 minutes straight with almost 0 pauses about his favorite subject—Ethnocynology. As well as the Colombian Exchange.

David begins by defining archaeology and Ethnocynology, and what they mean to him. Which then leads him to discussing what led him to studying the subject in general. Which he breaks into three parts:

Taking an intro to anthropology course

A history documentary called “Mankind”

A zooarchaeology class and a documentary about the flight distance hypothesis

He then rants about species, speciation, and how naming things can be problematic. This episode will be continued and clarified in episode 2.
