  • Love this podcast!

    I am a 20-year-old university student who has an insatiable thirst for knowledge in forensic anthropology, and I just love this podcast so much! The host is so great and I love listening to the personal experiences of the guest speakers when working in the field. I especially enjoyed the episode with Robert Maan; he is just the coolest lol. I’m studying forensic anthropology on the side currently, but I really hope to study it full-time soon. This podcast only makes me more excited for that day!... more

  • Anthrobiology podcast

    I did an anthropology undergrad almost 40 years ago and love all these evolution, homo origin, archeology and anthropology podcasts. This one is excellent, doesn’t dumb things down tediously and involves no giggling host chattering away. I really appreciate fact based intelligent discussions.

  • Helpful, fun and compelling to listeners from many backgrounds

    This is a podcast that should have existed from the start. The host is charming and knowledgeable. Just as importantly, she is aware that listeners may vary from rank amateurs to those who already have long and formal training in the discipline. A lot of academic podcasts fail on this front and so exclude the former or repel the latter. I teach a Paleoanthropology survey to high school students, and will incorporate this going forward. Not only for the reasons mentioned, but because the hos... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dr. Kate Clancy - Period: The Real Story of Menstruation
Q: What are some common misconceptions about menstrual cycles?
Common misconceptions include the belief that there is a 'normal' menstrual cycle that everyone should experience, ignoring the wide variability among individuals.
Dr. Kate Clancy - Period: The Real Story of Menstruation
Q: Can you explain what a period is and what a menstrual cycle is?
A period is a shedding of the uterine lining and part of the menstrual cycle, which is driven by hormonal changes in response to the environment and energy availability.
Dr. Kate Clancy - Period: The Real Story of Menstruation
Q: Why do you study periods? What prompted you in your career to say periods are what I'm interested in?
Dr. Clancy became interested in periods after a transformative seminar during her college studies, realizing that menstruation is closely linked to environmental and health factors rather than just being a source of stigma.
Dr. Rebecca Gilmour - Roman bioarchaeology
Q: Can you explain bone remodeling and its significance?
Bone remodeling is a dynamic process where bones heal from microtrauma and maintain strength throughout life, which can indicate levels of physical activity over time.
Dr. Rebecca Gilmour - Roman bioarchaeology
Q: How can we use bones to understand physical activity if the person's not around to tell you anymore?
We can analyze cortical bone shape, thickness, and various changes that reflect past physical activities.
