Rachel Maddow Presents: Ultra
I have been devouring this podcast's episodes as they come out, and some I have listened to twice. It is a fascinating, well-researched plunge into the recent past at the end of WW2 and about a decade after.

Unveiling History
1. America The name "America" originates from the Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci. Vespucci's voyages to the New World led to the realization that the lands discovered by Columbus were not part of Asia but a new continent. In 1507, a German cartographer named Martin Waldseemüller used the Latin version of Vespucci’s first name, "Americus," to label the newly identified continent on his map. The use of “America” was initially applied to South America, and over time, it came to represent both continents. Despite Vespucci's significant contribution, he remains less well-known compared to Columbus, whose name is more widely associated with the Americas.

A Dog is Man's First Friend
The historical narrative of the partnership between humans and canines is a remarkable one and interesting to say. Dogs have been instrumental in various aspects of human life, including hunting, traveling, safeguarding, and guiding. They have seamlessly become part of our households, offering solace and companionship. Contrary to popular belief, the domestication of dogs did not originate from humans but was kickstarted by a timid and vulnerable she-wolf, marking a significant milestone in human evolution. Initially possessing warning instincts, wolves gradually transformed into dogs, serving as loyal companions and protectors. Over time, dogs have adapted to accompany, safeguard, and provide companionship to humans, ultimately evolving into a distinct species that is friendly towards humans and is part of their adventure and lonely survival.
