A presenter on the BBC’s “Our Changing Planet” series\, Al-Shamahi was also the presenter and associate producer for BBC’s two science series “Neanderthals: Meet Your Ancestors” and “Horizon: Body Clock.” She also hosted a National Geographic show “Viking Warrior Women” where—during filming—she discovered what might be the first evidence of a battle injury on a female Viking warrior. \nHer debut book\, “The Handshake” (2021)\, was recognized as a Times (UK) and Sunday Times (UK) Book of the Year. She also performs “nerdy” stand-up internationally and has taken four science comedy shows to the Edinburgh Fringe. \nWhile she’s honed her dynamic storytelling skills as a globetrotting stand-up comedian and adventure TV host\, it is her work leading expeditions into unstable and hostile territories that has given her unusual insight into our shared human history. \nDig in with Al-Shamahi—for what is sure to be an entertaining exploration—and uncover why we need to understand our recent ancestors’ failures in order to chart a better future.
