S1E7: So You Dig Up Dinosaurs? Intro Anthropology


Listen Later

Today we are going back to my roots and talking about the theoretical framework that shaped anthropological theory! Sound boring? I was hoping to avoid that, so I brought on a special guest to make the episode a tad more conversational. Further, its impossible to talk about the beginnings of anthropology without acknowledging the problematic views on evolution, culture, and race in the human species that many of the early anthropologists shared. We dig into all of that and more this episode, I hope you learn something interesting!
