The Strange History of the Basque People | Ancient DNA, Migrations & Modern Identity

For over 15,000 years, the Basques have carved out a mysterious corner of Europe—speaking a language unrelated to any other, surviving empires, and holding tight to traditions rooted in caves, mountains, and the sea. In this episode of The Strange History Podcast, Amy takes you from Paleolithic cave art to Bronze Age DNA, from the Kingdom of Navarre to Basque whalers in Canada, from the bombing of Gernika to today’s thriving Basque Country and diaspora. Discover why Basques are both ancient and modern, how their genetic story reveals survival through isolation, and why Idaho is a surprising Basque stronghold. With tongue-in-cheek sponsor reads and plenty of humor, this is the strange, stubborn, and spectacular story of the Basques.
