S04E3 Monkeys&Sex Ed. - a podcast by Iszi Lawrence

Was everyone in the past really a backwards racist? Dr Adam Rutherford guides us through the history of genetics looking at one of Darwin’s must unappealing cousins. And to save your faith in humanity Eleanor Morton gets out her monkey. Expect a bit of filth and a cock or two.
