ARCHAEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE SUPPLEMENTED WITH GENETICS FOR YU Of course I am biased when I say that I consider anthropology one of the coolest disciplines. But I have reasons as to why I hold this opinion. One of the reasons is that anthropology has and will always be a discipline that integrates and applies methods from otherdisciplines. The
ANCIENT CHILEAN CHICKEN MAY NOT BE OF POLYNESIAN ORIGIN It is coincidental that a regular Anthropology.net commenter, Terry, just posted a comment about last year's study on the origins of early American chicken because PNAS published a new paper on this topic today. Razib pointed out the link to the new paper, "Indo-European and Asian origins for Chilean and Pacific chickens revealed by mtDNA."ANTHROPOLOGY.NET
You may be surprised to know that the history of body art dates back many centuries and has held an essential place in art lovers' lives. The tattoo industry has been through a riveting evolution, having been practised since early times. 14,000-YEAR-OLD CANADIAN VILLAGE IS ONE OF THE OLDEST Archaeologists at the site are unearthing tools for lighting fires, fish hooks and spears dating back to the Ice Age. Excavations on Triquet Island, about 500 kilometres northwest of Victoria, Canada, have yield extremely rare artifacts, like an atlatl, compound fish hooks and a hand drill used for lighting fires, that are dated to be 13,613 to 14,086 years old. APIDIMA 1 – A NEW LOOK AT OLD SKULL – ANTHROPOLOGY.NET In the 1970's, the Apidima Cave site in Greece was excavated by archaeologists. Lodged within a chunk of rock was the Apidima 1 specimen. It was found adjacent to a distorted 170,000 year old Neanderthal skull called Apidima 2. In the image below you can see how close in proximity the two specimens were discovered. RACE AS A SOCIAL CONSTRUCT As Ruth Frankenberg in her book The Social Construction of Whiteness: White Women, Race Matters argues, our daily lives are affected by race whether we are aware of it or not. We all see the world through a racial lens that colors our world black, white, Asian, NEANDERTHALS ON A BOAT Mousterian spearheads, a classic Neanderthal tool type, were excavated from the Stelida archeological site on the Greek island of Naxos by from McMaster University. There has been a long time belief that the first people to colonize this particular region were early farmers who arrived by boat approximately 9,000 years ago. These artifacts implysomething

Introduction Before I dive into the concept of race, I just want to thank Kambiz for this opportunity to broaden not only my perspectives but everyone else’s as well. I am very excited to discuss subjects that interest me and make people think critically about culture and society. I am looking forward to this personal OLDEST EVIDENCE OF ANCIENT CULTIVATED RICE IN CENTRAL ASIA Rice is the main food source for about half the population of the Earth, and it is arguably one of the most important foods for human beings. The origins of rice, as well as it spread is a key point of study for many biologists and archaeologists. With advances EARLIEST KNOWN ARCHAEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE OF AMERICANS FOUND Monte Verde, Chile is a very interesting archaeological site. First discovered in 1976, the site is about 500 miles south of Santiago and has yielded artifacts of a small settlement of 20 to 30 people living in a dozen huts along a small creek. Aside from artifacts, a wide variety of midden has also been HOMO NALEDI MAY HAVE MADE TOOLS, BURIED DEAD, LIVED A couple weeks ago, I introduced that H. naledi may be much younger than we thought it was.

PEOPLING OF THE AMERICAS: THREE STEP MODEL FOR COLONIZING To supplement last September's conclusion that the peopling of the Americas was initiated by a pretty diverse group of people who camped out in Beringia for a long time, long enough to differentiate from their Asian sister-clades, comes this study published in this week's PLoS One, "A Three-Stage Colonization Model for the Peopling of theSkip to content

POLYNESIANS CONTACTED NATIVE AMERICANS LONG BEFORE EUROPEAN CONTACT We've had some ideas that prehistoric Polynesian expansions made contact with Native Americans before European contact. For example, the sweet potato, a staple of Polynesian diets for hundreds of years, made its way to Andean culture where it was domesticated. And we've identified that some current Rapa Nui people have Native American DNA dating back... Continue Reading →__July 8, 2020
