Born on This Day: August 7, 1876
Today marks the birthday of Mata Hari — the world-famous dancer, courtesan, and alleged spy whose life became one of the most enduring mysteries of the 20th century.

Born Margaretha Geertruida Zelle in Leeuwarden, Netherlands, she captivated Europe with her daring performances and high-profile romances. But in 1917, amid the chaos of World War I, she was arrested in France, accused of spying for Germany, and executed by firing squad.

More than a century later, her story remains clouded in intrigue: Was she truly a master spy who seduced Europe, or a tragic scapegoat of wartime paranoia?

Did a natural disaster doom the Neanderthals?

Roughly 39,000 years ago, the Campi Flegrei supervolcano erupted in southern Italy - one of the most powerful eruptions in human prehistory. In Part 2 of Neanderthal Apocalypse, we explore how this volcanic cataclysm may have plunged Europe into a volcanic winter, tipping the scales against the Neanderthals in their final struggle for survival.

Through cutting-edge research in archaeology, climate science, and genetics, this episode investigates whether fire and ice, not just modern humans, played a decisive role in their extinction... and what their DNA reveals about the legacy they left behind in us.
