The NSF Bio Anthro Program DDRIG, Cultural Anthrpology DDRIG, and Archaeology DDRIG have all been archived (as of yesterday afternoon). Please speak with your grad students and plan accordingly. To say I am angry and depressed about this is an understatement.

All NSF SBE DDRIG solicitations have been archived and will remain so for the foreseeable future. Grants currently submitted will be processed, but as always, chances of funding remain very low. This means anyone aiming for the upcoming deadline will not be able to submit. 1/3

New publication alert!‼️ Wrapping up 2025 with my fifth paper of the year in the SAJS!
The paper reviews how stone tools reveal social connections, noting similar patterns can also arise independently and suggesting ways to better distinguish the two. 💫

In this study, Howard-Spink et al. develop an empirically based model of orangutan diet development, which suggests that social learning is vital for allowing orangutans to acquire varied diets.

Update: I sent an email to the publication on Sunday, I got an email over night last night saying they would start an investigation and then one hour later a note saying the article has been pulled. The original link/DOI is just gone now but the PubPeer comment will stand.
Someone just straight up plagiarized a former student's published work and submitted to another publication and posted as a preprint. It reproduces figures, large chunks of text, and has the same citations in the same order. MDPI of course... more to come.

If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

Flights were frozen so had to speed from Green Bay to Ohio to beat a winter storm. Stopped off in Sheboygan (the Malibu of the Midwest) to check out the surf, and did a grocery run at the Super H Mart in Chicago. The midwest has its jewels

Great piece on the recent findings from the folks at Koobi Fora
Early humans crafted the same tools for hundreds of thousands of years, offering an unprecedented glimpse of a continuous tradition that may push back the origins of technology.

Despite its widespread use in paleoanthropology, PCA is ill-suited and unreliable for inferring hominin evolutionary relationships from morphological data. Studies of hominin systematics that rely on PCA as a means of inferring morphological and phylogenetic affinity should be revisited. end/
