A fascinating new podcast covering extinct species since the Pleistocene, Endling explores each species in depth. Today, Kirsten Lopez of the Women in Archaeology and Alexandra Kosmides of Endling discuss three notable North American species important to native peoples of the US and Canada, and the impact of their near or complete extinction. These species are discussed in relation to the cultures and regions they thrived in moving eastward across the continent: Pacific Salmon, the Plains Bison, and the Passenger Pigeon. Take a listen, and check out the Endling podcast!
