Podcast appearances and mentions of adam van arsdale

June 30th - Adam Van Arsdale by Carpenter's Way Fellowship

I interview Dr.Adam Van Arsdale, a Professor of Anthropology at Wellesley College who researches how personal genomic information affects our understanding of ourselves and what it means to be human. In this episode, we explore how genetic testing, especially direct-to-consumer testing, can affect how we think about concepts like race, ancestry, and identity. We also consider the extractionist tendencies of genetics, leaving off with some examples of how Indigenous communities are resisting biocolonialism.

Dr. Adam Van Arsdale, a Professor of Anthropology at Wellesley College chats with Chris and Cara about why and how we need to rethink the way human anatomical evolution is taught. He discusses his recent presentations at the AABA in Denver and highlights his talk with Dr. Robin Nelson on the inconsistencies in how the term "population" is used by anthropologists.

Adam Van Arsdale discusses how genomes from extinct populations of archaic humans - “Neandertals” and “Denisovans” - have provided new complexity to our understanding of the origins of contemporary humans. The evolutionary processes that have shaped humans reflect a pattern that extends to the beginning of our genus, Homo, two million years ago. This talk examines the role of on-going research at the Lower Paleolithic site of Dmanisi, Georgia, for our understanding of Pleistocene human evolution, and the expanded, dynamic adaptive niche associated with the emergence and dispersal of early Homo.

Adam Van Arsdale reads an excerpt from To Know Where He Lies: DNA Technology and the Search for Srebrenica's Missing by Sarah Wagner, published by the University of California Press. (7:01)

Adam Van Arsdale gives an overview of the Ardipithecus fossil skeleton (what was found, where, how old it is). Jeremy DeSilva (Anthropology Professor at Boston University) describes his work as a functional anatomist of locomotion and upright walking.

Adam Weiner discusses Nabokov; Phil Kohl discusses tensions in the Northern Caucasus; Adam Van Arsdale discusses Georgia; and Marshall Goldman discusses the Russian economy.
