A very good discussion with Cecilia Padilla-Iglesias and Karen Kramer on the #huntergatherer sexual division of labour debates, and why we impose our ideas about status for women. Do you imagine women need to hunt to have power?...because the Hadza wouldn't think so.

I haven't seen any comments from women in Spaceflight yet, but Marina Hyde definitely captures my feelings.

"I always thought space travel was futuristic, but this was the first time it came off as travelling back in time, in this case using their little capsule to take us back to the most ludicrous inanities of 2010s girlboss feminism."
Hoping for this to be part of a deeper analysis from Ethno-ISS and other space #anthropology researchers (there are several).

EurekAlert!Seriously exciting! A robust mandible identified as that of a #Denisovan man from #Taiwan. #Proteomics were used in the study
'Although genomic studies suggest that they were widespread throughout Asia, fossils of this group have thus far only been identified from regions with cold climates, Siberia and Tibet. Tsutaya et al. used ancient proteomic analysis on a previously unidentified hominin mandible from Taiwan and identified it as having belonged to a male Denisovan. This identification confirms previous genomic predictions of the group’s widespread occurrence, including in warmer climates. The robust nature of this mandible is similar to that seen in a Denisovan one from Tibet, suggesting that this is a consistent trait for the lineage'
