Scientists love to classify things. Archeologists are no exception. One of the very first classifications systems that were developed, classified ancient history into three broad eras.

This system was crude and it isn't really used among professionals anymore, but its simplicity has ensured that it still survives in casual use.

Learn more about the three ages system: the stone age, the bronze age, and the iron age, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

They told NPR their goal was "to say to young people - to young Black Americans, you belong here." Next, Adam Rubin has written a collection of short stories that are all different but have the same title: The Ice Cream Machine. Rubin told NPR's Rachel Martin that there are so many ways to tell a story.
