I have decided to stop using David Hurst Thomas’ 2000 book Skull Wars in my classes because it is a bit old at this point. But it’s still great, and gives an excellent overview of relations between archaeologists and the Native community, including m... more

- C-14
In regard to Episode 180, “Is Carbon 14 Dating Fake?”, I do not see the method as fake, it is the assumptions.

But the 2025 host painfully pompous in exactly that way (the earlier hosts were far better but terrible sound quality).
My hope is that he’s intending to mirror Hancock et al and somehow his condescension is effective with a large po... more

As a skeptic myself, he’s embarrassing to listen to.
Unless you want to hear from someone who thinks they are way smarter than they actually are, I would check out a different show.
