Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

SoS 258: Maggots on the Menu: Rethinking Hominin Diet with Melanie Beasley
Q: Can you explain in a little more detail, why that is so?
Dr. Beasley elaborated that dietary practices of hominins indicated a reliance on putrid meat and maggots due to our primate metabolism, which isn't suited for an exclusively hypercarnivorous diet.
SoS 258: Maggots on the Menu: Rethinking Hominin Diet with Melanie Beasley
Q: How did you come up with this fantastic idea?
Dr. Beasley shared that the inspiration came from a paper by John Speth regarding Neanderthal diets, leading her to explore nitrogen isotopes and the role of maggots in ancient diets.
SoS 257: Repensando los primeros pasos de nuestra especie con Cecilia Padilla Iglesias
Q: ¿Cuáles habrían sido los factores que más influyeron en esos cambios, en el tamaño y en la conectividad que mantenían estas primeras poblaciones en África?
Los cambios climáticos y la variabilidad climática en África han influido significativamente en los patrones de migración y demografía de las poblaciónes humanas.
SoS 257: Repensando los primeros pasos de nuestra especie con Cecilia Padilla Iglesias
Q: ¿Por qué crees que sabemos tan poco sobre los primeros momentos de la especie cuando surge en África?
Se debe a una combinación de falta de financiación en la investigación en África y las condiciones climáticas que dificultan la conservación de fósiles y material genético.
SoS 256: Beyond the Savanna: Human Adaptation in the Age of Cities with Larry Schell
Q: What types of methodological or even theoretical innovations do you think are needed for the next generation of urban human bio researchers?
He discusses the inadequacy of urban-rural contrasts in research and emphasizes the need for a more nuanced understanding of the variables that define urban environments.
