Love
These are gorgeous
🚨🚨🚨New episode alert!!! 🚨🚨🚨
@brennawalks.bsky.social says you’re weird, even for a primate, and generally throws shade at early anthros in episode 8: The Archaeology of…Childhood

Catch up with Episode 3, where we offer some controversial dental advice for dead people in The Archaeology of… Dental Biographies ! youtu.be/6ONRaa56rEE?...

(Waiting on the blooper reel though. That’s 👌)
Oh awesome.
🚨New episode!!!!! It’s The Archaeology of… yeah actually it’s still Norman Castles. Dr Jim got so distracted by the Norman’s last time (and a call about going to B&Q) we had to do a double episode just to get to his awesome fieldwork at Lowther Castle. Expect Cumbria jokes 🙌 youtu.be/h2hKIhZxVN8?...

Jim’s main mission in this episode of ‘The Archaeology of…’ is to destroy Brenna’s dreams 😂🙌 at least the ones relevant to Norman castles 😂😅

I was on Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch show this morning — I spoke about my upcoming You’re Dead To Me live podcast tour (tickets still available!) and my latest children’s book about the Stone Age, co-created with @brennawalks.bsky.social and @rikinparekh.bsky.social
I am in the wrong country to know about this, but awesome!!!
I loved a ton of posters at #aaba2026 this year, but didn’t ask everyone if I could share them so sorry! Plus awesome @dentalanth.bsky.social symposium celebrating our 40th anniversary so will be some cool pubs in a special issue of the dental anthropology journal… maybe you should join??? ;)
This is a picture of a poster explaining an experiment that showed chimps didn’t like learning from women demonstrators
Today in species level misogyny: chimps won’t learn from women. Ha!
(I find gendered learning stuff in chimps so interesting)
For anyone at #aaba2026 there is a great women’s networking and mentorship group — happy hour later today too!

I genuinely learned something about British archaeology, despite my best efforts
🚨New episode!!! It’s the Archaeology of…Norman Castles!!
In which Dr Jim Morris tries to explain what every schoolchild should know about castles, and why it is wrong.
Also, Brenna wonders about pigs.
Watch or listen now!

Just signed off an email ‘Beset’ and I think that’s about right 😅
Denver AABA crew, hi! See you for the DAA poster session on Friday (and all the socials!)
Also wow jet lag hey
Yep.
Posterior sample distributions for the group intercepts for aggression
Bonobos just as aggressive as chimps, with a difference, females
Replication Data for:
Chimpanzees are not more aggressive than bonobos, but target sexes differently 🏺🧪

Insights into evolutionary dynamics of social conflict strategies in great apes, including humans
(Not a Greek! But he is v celebrated)
Absolutely
It’s the most 🎶 post processual 🎶 time of the year
(Can you believe they let me teach theory 😂🤘)
The important thing to know is that I was sort of right ;) Ladas are 1000 kg or thereabouts, so cave bears a bit more or less than half by weight.
BUT WHAT ABOUT BY VOLUME
The typo!!! Cave bears!! Or… are they? 🚗🧸
. @brennawalks.bsky.social wants you to tell her about late Pleistocene megafauna.
But she wants you to do it in Ladas.
🚗
New episode The Archaeology of… car bears!!! Out now ;) youtu.be/JiK8L_JRmh8?...
Giant freekin bears!!!
A reminder that captive births are very far from risk free in elephants. You cannot do a c-section if e.g. development or delivery goes wrong (=death to mum for sure).
Honestly, this would not pass an ethics committee in the UK, I am sure.
I hope this is just more of the usual nonsense
How do we lose the history of women in academia? Well, start by losing their citations to better networked groups…
This makes me think of the citation analyses of ‘who gets taught’ in archaeology that Colleen Morgan at York did (and I tried elsewhere)
