Washington College anthropology professor Bill Schindler (@drbillschindler) wants his students to experience what life was like in prehistoric times. So he tasks the students with making their own tools, butchering their own meat and gathering nuts for sustenance.

And he's lived the life himself. Last year, Schindler took part in the National Geographic show “The Great Human Race.”

Schindler joins Here & Now‘s Robin Young to talk about his work.
