New academic publication is out on #Neanderthal sexual behaviour, co-authored with Anna Maria Kubicka, @NowellApril and @emmanelson67
A tricky topic necessarily inc. a lot of inference, but hopefully useful in drawing together info and ideas

Have you ever wondered why animals did not enter urban areas more frequently during the COVID-19 pandemic? Our research in @CommsBio shows that even in empty cities, the level of animal tolerance to humans remained the same as it was before the pandemic.

Taylor Swift has donated enough money to cover the food bills for an entire year across 11 food banks and 8 community pantries in Liverpool.

(i.e. something that advances our understanding of their lives, bodies, interactions...)
Pls reply & RT! 👍
Sad news. Mick Vernon passed sway this week. I saw him on Monday, very upbeat & cheerful. I know some anthropology folks on here will remember him. Pic here with @onsilentscreen@UCLanthropology#EvoAnth
@profmarkcollard@onsilentscreen@UCLanthropology He messaged me on Tuesday to say he’d had a lovely couple of days seeing many friends. Died peacefully in a hospice in Sydenham. It was a lovely place and staff were great. He always spoke fondly of you. X
@Keir_Starmer When Dan Poulter walks across the floor - refuse entry to @UKLabour - we don’t need him. No moral compass - leaving @Conservatives at this point. Too little, too late.
