Welcome back. On this episode we cover the Copper Age of Europe. We talk about some of the Chalcolithic cultures, mines and copper techniques the Europeans of the age.

Episode 7 The Chalcolithic

In this podcast we finish off the Stone Age and discuss the Rise of the Indo-Europeans. The Indo-Europeans are the language family tree of which most European and some Asian languages come from. They seem to have either come into Europe or evolved into the Indo-Europeans right at the end of the Neolithic, beginning of the Chalcolithic and Bronze Age, depending on which theory you hold. In this episode we discuss some of the best and worst theories for Indo-European origins.

Episode 6 The Rise of the Indo-Europeans

In this episode we round up the Neolithic cultures of Southern, Central and Western Europe. We talk about the Megalithic structures of the west and throw in a whole bunch of corny history jokes and obscure references that will assuredly please at least three people.

Episode 5 - Neolithic Part 2

In this tardy podcast we undergo the Neolithic Revolution in Southern and Central Europe, focusing mainly on Balkan, Danubian and Eastern Cultures, including the incredible Cucuteni-Trypillian Culture. Join me as we reach back to about 7000 BC and discover some fascinating stuff about Europe's last era of the Stone Age.

Episode 4 - Neolithic Part 1

Today we talk about the murky and difficult to define Mesolithic period in European history. We cover how the Paleolithic cultures became Mesolithic ones in adapting to the new weather patterns brought on by the end of the Pleistocene and the emergence of the Holocene. We cover the Mesolithic rather quickly so that we can get to the Neolithic when things really start to get cooking.

Episode 3 Mesolithic Europe

In this episode we'll discover Paleolithic Europe. Beginning with Homo Habilis and his tendency to be a snack for sabre-tooth cats we'll gradually make our way through some of the more important human ancestors in Europe until we make our way to Cro-Magnon man's arrival in Romania. From there we'll discuss some of these early modern human developments until the Pleistocene decides to end and the weather perks up a bit, ushering in a new era, the Mesolithic. But the Mesolithic is for next time.

Episode 02 Paleolithic Europe

Welcome to the History of Europe Podcast. In this introduction we'll explore 2.6 million years of European history in about 20 minutes. We'll cover the Paleolithic through the current financial crisis as a general overview of what this show we'll talk about in the coming months and years.

Episode 01 The History of Europe in 20

Join me as we journey through 2.6 million years or so of European history, from the earliest Paleolithic settlements to the complexities of the financial crisis that threatens to tear Europe apart in the 21st century.

Thorough and well constructed and presented in an unpretentious way. Hoping it will one day return with more!

Excellent information

I, like you, was a rabid fan of The History of Rome from the beginning and feel like I have lost a friend since it has ended. I am very much enjoying this podcast and know it will only continue to get better moving forward as it has in the few episodes so far. Thank you for helping fill the void left with the end of The History of Rome!

Good beginning, keep it up:)
