On NPR’s Short Wave podcast, hosts Hannah Chin and Nate Rott dig into several recent science stories: how the basic units of birdsong are structured and produced, new insights into the evolutionary history and domestication of avocados, and archaeological discoveries about elite warrior women in ancient Egypt. They summarize the studies, highlight the methods researchers used, and explain what each finding reveals about animal communication, plant evolution, and social roles in the ancient world.
