Hello 🦋, I'm an archaeologist & YouTuber
My agenda is clear: fill the internet with #RealArchaeology and oppose pseudoscience
I'm currently writing a book about Atlantis, analyzing sheep teeth from Knossos, teaching archaeological theory, and filming the ultimate video takedown of Graham Hancock

Raise your hand if you're sick of the internet being filled with
1) liars and grifters
2) fake AI slop
3) bogus conspiracy theories
Resist it by engaging and boosting truthful, fact-based content. We have to act deliberately to retrain the algorithmic gremlins

Hugely important new data here, I need time to digest it (🙃), but this kind of detailed contextual work is EXACTLY what we need to avoid stereotypes that #Neanderthal body processing & cannibalism were simply "brutal massacres"

Did Neandertals choose their prey when practicing cannibalism?🍖
Check out our new study, just published in Scientific Reports - @natureportfolio.nature.com!
We provide the strongest evidence to date for a highly selective cannibalism at the end of Neandertal lineage, 41-45.000 years ago.

The mental gymnastics here are revealing. "Science & pseudoscience are the same"
Pseudoscience "don't trust the experts" is a form of black-pilled nihilism
It's depressing. Our knowledge is constantly growing based on solid evidence, but grifters have brainwashed so many people otherwise

Fifteen years of ideological choices to strangle & gut the public realm - NHS to schools to social services to local museums - is what underlies the anger "tearing our country apart"; immigration is simply the scapegoat that the far right are pushing people toward.
