Description
Passed like genetic heirlooms from one generation to the next, lice track the evolutionary patterns of their hosts. Join us as we look back to the age of dinosaurs to find out where lice came from, look at the present to uncover some facts about recent human evolution and look into the future to see what live can tell us about the extinction of life on Earth.
