Thanks Mike!! 🙏🙏
Exciting new discoveries and theories emerging out of China and Eastern Asia about the course of human evolution
This just out in NewScientist. It includes various discussions around bodoensis, juluensis and everything Chibanian… (had no idea they were going to draw my pic for the piece!! 😂😂).

"But now, as an anthropologically-trained primatologist, I see this story through a different lens. What was apparent watching the documentary was that this compelling narrative is rooted in colonialism and neo-colonialism."
Please, read this amazing essay.
Several years ago, I watched the National Geographic "Jane" documentary, and wrote a Twitter thread about it, then rewrote it in blog form for the @peopleprimate.bsky.social. And I'm dismayed to see so much of her memorials repeating this narrative (2/10)

[new paper alert]. This student led paper is really cool. Hopefully, it closes the lid on arguments that the Australasian tektites cannot be used to date the Bose handaxes. 💪💪

The classic rendering of the obstetric dilemma hypothesis is that the size & shape of the human pelvis has been constrained by its restructuring for bipedal locomotion, making birth difficult. Nice discussion on the topic with CU Denver's Dr. Anna Warrener. #paleoanthropology #humanevolution

In all of my years of high school Spanish, I don’t think I could have produced something like this. 😂😂

Really nice to receive this in the mail today. 😎😎

Many thanks to Patricia Gonzalez and her crew for the invitation to contribute and for putting it together. 🙏🙏

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.
