My last day as EIC of @evanthro! Thanks to the authors, reviewers, and Ed Board who contributed to the journal these last 6 yrs. I learned a lot and made some mistakes along the way (being EIC is not easy). But I think I’m a better scientist and mentor for it. @jasonkamilar
wonderful piece by Setchell, Unwin, & Cheyne in @evanthro on Mental health in primatology: https://t.co/MgrAjFiULr
"We need to discuss mental health more often, include all primatologists, and involve mental health experts in this discussion."
Ancient ape friendships may have paved the way for human love. 🐵❤️
Anthropologist Aaron Sandel suggests that human romantic relationships resemble bonds among male chimpanzees, challenging previous theories.
@IFLScience explores the @evanthro study.

Please email Jason Kamilar ([email protected]) if you are interested in reviewing one of these books for Evolutionary Anthropology!
The Natural History of Primates, ed. by Sussman et al.
Bioarchaeology: An Introduction to the Archaeology and Anthropology of the Dead, by Sutton
Did early foragers eat partially digested food?
A new study challenges traditional assumptions about "hunting and gathering" and highlights the importance of this understudied form of foraging.
More on the @evanthro research in @FuturityNews.

New paper out in @evanthro 🚨 I had fun synthesising what I have learnt about #Australopithecus throughout my postdocs at @WitsUniversity and thinking of the next steps! Freely accessible online 👉https://t.co/LvCrfyPzLu
Enthusiastic to share our new paper @evanthro w C Veilleux @cupcakes4lemurs & N Dominy: "The Sensory Ecology of Primate Food Perception, Revisited" https://t.co/5NYVasEuWt
20 yrs post Dominy et al's ms on #primate#SensoryEcology we provide an update & critical reflection 1/n
I'm so pleased to share my new and first big sole-authored article "Biocultural perspectives of infectious diseases and demographic evolution: TB and its comorbidities through history" now available in @evanthro! 📖🤓

@Anthrofuentes@KevinDHunt Book reviews are opinion pieces, and not necessarily opinions that are widely shared. In any case, thanks for raising the issue of Indigenous knowledge. I’m logging off for the night. Sorry for the trouble.
@Anthrofuentes@KevinDHunt Again, his definition of science was based on Popper, who stressed testable hypotheses and predictions. I agree with you about the validity of Indigenous knowledge though not everyone is in that group and I’m not sure if a Science paper means it is true.
@Anthrofuentes@KevinDHunt since I'm the final decision maker for everything published in the journal, I do apologize for it coming off as you are anti-science. I certainly do not think that is the case.
@Anthrofuentes@KevinDHunt not a complement, but a "slam" that I considered relatively minor, especially because I'm not sure how many bio anthro folks hold Popper as the gold standard for the definition of science. Plus, it was a one off comment in a long book review on a different topic. In any case,...
