Dr. Jonathan Marks has written numerous books on anthropology, genetics, and has begun to write about racism and similar topics in science. Chris talks to him about his last book on scientific racism and his upcoming book about creationism. This is a great discussion about things that we don't talk about much in anthropology and the sciences, but should.Jonathan Marks is Professor of Anthropology at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, where he has taught since the beginning of the present millennium, after brief stretches at Yale and Berkeley. His primary training is in biological anthropology and genetics, but his interests are broad, and he has published on the topics of human origins and human diversity across the sciences and humanities from American Anthropologist to Zygon. In 2006 he was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In 2012 he was awarded the First Citizen’s Bank Scholar’s Medal from UNC Charlotte. In recent years he has been a Visiting Research Fellow at the ESRC Genomics Forum in Edinburgh, at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin, and a Templeton Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study at Notre Dame. His work has received the W. W. Howells Book Prize and the General Anthropology Division Prize for Exemplary Cross-Field Scholarship from the American Anthropological Association, and the J. I. Staley Prize from the School for Advanced Research. His most recent book is called Is Science Racist? (Polity Press), and next one is called Why Are There Still Creationists?. And although he has written books called What it Means to be 98% Chimpanzee and Why I am Not a Scientist, he is somewhat paradoxically about 98% scientist, and not a chimpanzee.Links Is Science Racist?

We talk about representation and including diverse perspectives into your work (and not forgetting to include young people!). We also talk about the Maori concept of home and how Maori and Western perspectives are coming together. Also, how to advocate for change, including homelessness and it’s disparate effects. Finally, this episode was recorded in early April 2020, so naturally we were talking about COVID-19.

Recently, new evidence for Neolithic fabric was found impressed on a sherd in the Orkney Islands. In an area where the environment is not conducive to preservation of textile, archaeologists must look for evidence in unconventional ways. Recently, a team from The University of the Highlands and the Islands in Scotland used Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) to identify the impression of woven fabric on a sherd. Chris and Rachel discuss the fabric impression, how it could have been made, and what the broader implication are of this discovery.Links “Rare evidence for Neolithic Textiles identified on Orkney”, Science Notes, Current Archaeology, July 17, 2020 Textiles and Animal Skins from ScARF Flint Howe, Luce Sands Contact Chris Webster [email protected] Affiliates Wildnote TeePublic Timeular Find this show on the educational podcast app, Lyceum.fm!

On this episode of A Life in Ruins podcast, we interview Dr. Marissa Molinar. She studies the practices, and products of prehistoric art, through an evolutionary, social, and aesthetic lens. She gave an excellent talk at the APN Educational Expo (APN AEX 2020) about her work and she also had a pretty sweet zoom background. We get deep into her research on rock art and her methods of comparing different rock art panels. She details the complicated process of getting permission to survey on military lands and also how she got into anthropology and archaeology. We also have a discussion about representation in archaeology and the effects of colonialism in public education.Contact Marissa's Instagram: @MaybeLikeWater Email: [email protected] Instagram: @alifeinruinspodcast Facebook: @alifeinruinspodcast Twitter: @alifeinruinspod Website: www.alifeinruins.com Affiliates Wildnote TeePublic Timeular Find this show on the educational podcast app, Lyceum.fm!

Here's one that is a bit different. Did you know that Native California Indians were part of a basketry boom? From about 1890 to 1940 Native people produced some of the most spectacular basketry ever crafted in the world. These masterpiece baskets include imagery and embedded metaphor that is also recognized in our rock art record throughout California and the Great Basin. Gene Meieran one of the authors of an upcoming book by Sunbelt Press will be our guest to discuss how such a volume was created and the treasures produced by California Indians and where these artistic treasures can be seen. The interview will spotlight what it means to Native people to see their ancestors stories, photographs, and art showcased in such a magnificent visual feast!

Today's episode is in response to a listener question in which the listener asked why we continue to do CRM even though we always talk about the hardships. What drives you? Is it a passion for history? A love of the outdoors? What drives you to settle for low per diem, bad pay, no benefits, and double-occupancy hotel room? Let us know in the comments.Listener question: From James at NASA...As to what I would like to hear in CRM, as a member of the public, I would like to understand more of the reason people continue to work in the field despite the hardships. I mean, is there knowledge before they get a degree that this is hard when they do the field work? What is the dropout rate? Is it just in people’s blood to do this, like sailors who need to be on the ocean despite the risk? Also, fundamentally, is CRM just trying to meet regulations (do a job and get paid) or is it actually resulting in stopping/relocating the ventures that initiated them (highway, shopping mall, homes)?Follow Our Panelists On TwitterBill @succinctbill; Doug @openaccessarch; Stephen @processarch; Bill A. @archaeothoughts; Chris W @Archeowebby, @DIGTECHLLC, and @ArchPodNetBlogs: Bill White: Succinct Research Doug Rocks-MacQueen: Doug’s Archaeology Stephen Wagner: Process - Opinions on Doing Archaeology Chris Webster: Random Acts of Science Jobs with Cox McClainOur CRM group is one of the fastest growing in the US.
