Anthropology professor denies physical science, laughably insists there’s no way to tell gender from human bones

April 04, 2023 -

According to Dr. Gabby Yearwood, a professor of anthropology at the University of Pittsburgh, one cannot actually tell the gender of a skeleton simply by evaluating its structure because that skeleton, while covered with skin and filled with life, may have self-identified as transgender.

This is, in essence, the answer that Yearwood gave to swimmer Riley Gaines when asked if he can identify gender just by looking at human bone remains. Gaines' exact question was:

"If ...

Woke libtards attack anthropology, claiming ancient skeletons can’t be labeled “men” or “women” because they might have identified as transgender

July 22, 2022 -

Jennifer A. Raff, an anthropology professor from The University of Kansas, claims that there are "no neat divisions between physically or genetically 'male' or 'female' individuals" – and she is not alone in this belief.

There is actually an entire movement called the "Trans Doe Task Force" that aims to "explore ways in which current standards in forensic human identification do a disservice to people who do not clearly fit the gender binary," the goal being to ...

Anthropological societies BAN all discussion about biological sex and science to protect “trans and LGBTQI communities”

September 29, 2023 -

On September 25, the American Anthropological Association (AAA) and the Canadian Anthropology Society (CASCA) released a letter announcing the cancelation of an upcoming conference panel called, "Let's Talk About Sex, Baby: Why biological sex remains a necessary analytic category in anthropology" because talking about biological sex is upsetting to transgenders.

According to AAA and CASCA, it is necessary to stop talking about biological sex in relation ...

The world’s first cold-weather body decomposition farm to be built at Northern Michigan University

May 13, 2017 -

The school has issued a statement about the up-and-coming research facility: “Relatively little information exists on the effects of freezing and thawing on human decomposition. NMU students and faculty will conduct this pioneering research in varying conditions and scenarios, creating the baseline data so critical to the quickly advancing field of forensic anthropology.”

Alan McEvoy, Head of the Anthropology Department at NMU, told MichiganRadio.org that ...

Social science: Researchers determine we make friends based on individual qualities rather than group qualities

February 19, 2019 -

Now, an interesting new study by a collaboration of researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology and the University of California Santa Barbara, has confirmed that friendliness and being a “good person” are the most important criteria people subconsciously apply when choosing their friends.

Anthropologists recognize that humans have always instinctively searched for two types of friends: In-group friends who are part of their “tribe” ...

Anthropologists discover how teeth reveal vitamin D levels: X-rays can now be used to check for deficiency

December 30, 2017 - anthropology and the lead author of the paper, says that their discovery came about while they were looking for "a non-destructive method" that can leave their limited specimens intact while also revealing the presence of a deficiency. In a healthy individual, pulp shape mirrors "an arch topped by two cat ears." In people with a severe vitamin D deficiency, pulp shape "is asymmetrical and constricted, and typically looks like the profile of a hard-backed chair."

Anthropologists warn that people have become so attached to smartphones that the devices are “becoming our homes”

May 16, 2021 -

This is the conclusion the UCL anthropologists reached as part of a study that spent more than a year documenting smartphone use in nine countries around the world, including Japan, China, Brazil, Ireland and Cameroon.

The study found that smartphones are no longer just devices people can use for leisure or utility. "It's become the place where we live," said Daniel Miller, a professor of anthropology specializing in "digital anthropology," smartphones ...

Researchers find proof that “spear-thrower and bow-and-arrow technologies” allowed modern humans to hunt better than Neanderthals

October 05, 2020 - anthropology at Duke University, said that Neanderthals likely made weapons thrown at shorter distances but had never gotten around making long-range weapons. However, it’s also possible that they did, but these tools probably had little use to Neanderthals, added Churchill.

In fact, there’s research suggesting that this extinct species was perfectly capable of making sophisticated tools. For one, another group of researchers discovered a tar-like substance, called ...

Intriguing study links physical contact with gut health – you share a similar microbiome as those you normally interact with

August 30, 2018 -

Researchers from the University of Oxford collaborated with experts from various universities, such as the University of Arizona and Hunter College of the City University of New York (CUNY), for the study. The findings were published in the Journal of Animal Ecology.

The gut microbiome refers to the community of different bacteria that live inside the intestines, and these bacteria are crucial for both animal and human health. Gut bacteria is necessary for proper digestion ...

“Morally and intellectually corrupt”: UCLA professor resigns in protest over viewpoint intolerance

July 20, 2022 - anthropology department was a healthy and diverse intellectual environmental until the 2000s when things began to change dramatically. It is the same time period identified by others when a critical mass seemed to form on many faculties of professors who began to almost exclusively hire liberal colleagues and shun those with opposing views.

Among the examples of the intolerance on campus, Manson gave a detailed account of the “defenestration of a colleague,” P. Jeffrey ...

Experts, studies recommend eating like your ancestors to boost longevity

November 23, 2022 -

Data from physical anthropology, primatology, genetics and medicine attributed longer life spans to the emergence of vaccines, antibiotics and other medical advances; efficient urban sanitation systems; and the availability of fresh, nutritious vegetables and fruits all year round.

But Finch's hypothesis contradicts that narrative, stating that the "trend toward slower aging and longer lives began much, much earlier, as our ancestors developed an increasingly ...

Amazing apes: Great apes can “read minds” to help people out

ORGAN DONORS WAKING UP during surgery because Big Pharma is in a MAD RUSH to sell their organs on the black market

August 07, 2025 - anthropology made up on the fly,” with institutional priorities and transplant quotas sometimes superseding patient dignity.

This growing alarm has begun to erode public trust in the organ donation system.

Tiny tools are uniquely human: We have gained advantage from miniature weapons since the Stone Age

September 05, 2019 -

“When other apes used stone tools, they chose to go big and stayed in the forests where they evolved,” said co-author John Shea, professor of anthropology at Stony Brook University in New York. “Hominins chose to go small, went everywhere, and transformed otherwise hostile habitats to suit our changing needs.”Miniature tools helped early humans survive many adversities

Researchers from different institutions looked at artifacts that were used by hominins or ...
