АНТРОПОГЕНЕЗ.РУ

What it actually is

Lectures and interviews from the ANTROPOGENEZ.RU team — Alexander Sokolov, Stanislav Drobyshevsky and colleagues — on human evolution, archaeology and the debunking of popular myths about both. Drobyshevsky in particular is a famously clear lecturer, and lecture Russian is well-structured Russian, which helps. Free, with hundreds of episodes. Latin names and anatomical terms fly past unexplained, and there are no transcripts.
