In this episode, we explore human prehistory and the legacy of colonialism in archeological anthropology. Ed sat down with Dr. Veronica Waweru, a lecturer in Swahili and African Studies here at Yale’s MacMillan Center. She is an archeological anthropologist committed to engaging local communities in Kenya where she conducts fieldwork, in order to correct what she calls “the cradle paradox.”
