Episode 26: The Cannibal in the Jungle (2015)
On this episode we’re joined by Dr. Matt Tocheri to discuss The Cannibal in the Jungle (2015), an Animal Planet mockumentary which blurs the line between fact and fiction. The (fictional) story centres around a team of ornithologists who were attacked by a group of Homo floresiensis (the so-called “hobbits”), which happen to be Matt’s area of expertise. We discuss hominin evolution, biogeography, and the boundaries between entertainment and misinformation.
