An Intro to Anthro with 2 Humans

Human Number One, John McCray, and Human Number Two, John Lehr, re-assess what it means to be human.

“It’s a pure joy to listen to these two humans, and old friends, explore the who’s, how’s and why’s of what it means to be Homo sapien, having thoughtful, well researched conversations which are never not hilarious and are often deeply ridiculous.  I can listen to these guys forever. There’s no era, subject or arena of knowledge that I don’t want explained to me by John and John." -- Carlos Jacott
