YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn 1864, a British zoologist proposed a lost continent called Lemuria to explain why lemur fossils kept turning up on opposite sides of the Indian Ocean. It was a serious scientific hypothesis. It was also completely wrong. But by the time the science caught up, the idea had already escaped into the hands of people who had no interest in evidence at all.
In this episode, Vanessa Richardson traces how Lemuria traveled from a Victorian zoology paper to a Russian mystic's racial hierarchy to the writings of a 20-year-old who claimed a spirit was dictating technologies that wouldn't be invented for decades.
