We've seen them in TV, cinema and video games, but the more often than not, the image we have of Vikings has been mythologized and romanticized, overlooking the true richness of their culture and society.
Now, an exhibition in Galicia aims to shed some light onto their daily lives and culture. "Una vida Vikinga" (A viking life) brings the public closer to this civilization and challenges popular misconceptions, myths and stereotypes about its society. To tell us more about this exhibition, we spoke with curator Irene García.
Also on this broadcast, we learn about "The child who lived: Down syndrome among Neanderthals?", a grounbreaking study that offers evidence of compassion among this species. To give us a deeper insight on this amazing discovery, we spoke with lead author and researcher, Mercedes Conde-Valderde.
