History of Biological Anthropology (Up to Genetics)

Biological anthropology is all about studying human biology in an evolutionary framework. How did Homo sapiens come to be? Perhaps more importantly, how did this field come to be, and how has it developed over time? Let's take a look at the history of this field now!

Check out "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?", my book on disarming pseudoscience!

Indiana Jones made me want to be an archeologist when I was little but the Universe our world and the laws and principles that govern them was a call I could not ignore.

Hello Dave! I was wondering if you could make a video or series on NDEs (near death experiences), and OBEs (out of body experiences)

There seem to be actual genuine doctors who support the idea that there's something spirit soul shenanigans going on when a person goes through this experience and I'd love for you to make a video on it, and, hopefully, debunking it. Thank you, Dave!

slight correction, its HMS Beagle not the HMS beagle, that is basically saying the her majesty's ship beagle, not her majesty's ship beagle, yes it is correct for US ships but not British (or most other navies for that matter) ships.

Yeah, but did either Plato or Diogenes explain why the chicken crossed the road?

I wish you didn't turn off the comments on the trans video, I didn't understand the part where you explain what determines the person's gender and why is it the brain :c

Amazing 👏🏻 what do you think about stone ape theory? Do you think it's possible that psilocybin had an influence on the evolution of consciousness?

I for one am from europe (not paarticulary rich country) and discovered creationism through amerimutts on yt 😢
I was raised as catholic (and still am) and tradionally but never have i ever met a creationist. Not even my extremely old grandparends (also conservative and catholic) never ever questioned evolution.
Smdh 😢
