I worked with Laura Helmuth at Slate and she filled in as my editor when my normal one was out on leave and was genuinely one of the best editors I ever worked with. Found her recent stewardship of Scientific American very puzzling and disappointing. reason.com/2024/11/18/how…

This position is for the 'culture' part, i.e. for the collection and analysis of archaeological data - check it out, share it, and get in touch if you are interested international.au.dk/about/profile/… Note that there is a parallel position in genetics opening up soon, too :)

Utterly obsessed with this UCL researcher who won an Ig Nobel for showing that “Blue Zones” where people supposedly live well past 100 at unusual rates are actually just full of clerical errors and people committing pension fraud ucl.ac.uk/ioe/news/2024/…

The anthropologist Richard B Lee has a large repository of digitized fieldwork photos (with !Kung hunter-gatherers) at UToronto. The photos go back to the 1960s. A thread showing some highlights...

They are the second coming of the football hooligans.

Rory, I’d sit this one out mate. You’re hardly in a position to comment. And Boris is right. They are not far-right.

The incredible genetic diversity observed in Africa means it's essential to include populations that might be geographically close but potentially very different genetically when building models of human evolution: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Congrats to the authors!

🚨 Paper alert! 🚨 It’s common for cross-cultural research to be conducted in a second language: a national majority language or lingua franca. But research among the Hadza, published today in @PNASNexus, shows second languages can bias results. 🧵/14 academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/adva…
