In this enlightening episode of the Prometheus Lens Podcast, host Justin engages with author and researcher Ryan Pitterson. They delve into the themes of the Nephilim, the Gap Theory, and the implications of ancient earth narratives found in the Bible. Ryan shares insights from his works, exploring the supernatural aspects of scripture that often go unaddressed. The conversation navigates through the restoration of the earth, prophetic visions, and the cyclical nature of time as reflected in various cultures. They also speculate on the world of Genesis 6, discussing the interactions between angels and humanity. In this conversation, Ryan Pitterson and Doc Brown explore the advanced society of angels, the significance of pre-Adamic beings, and the ongoing battle between God's kingdom and Satan's authority. They delve into biblical history, discussing the high-ranking position of Satan and his eventual fall, as well as the revelations and discoveries made during their research. The dialogue emphasizes the complexity of spiritual warfare and the divine plan for redemption. Head over to http://www.prometheuslenspodcast.com to sign up for the "All Access Pass" and get early access to episodes, private community, members only episodes, private Q & A's, and coming documentaries.

Religion in the twenty-first century is alive and well across the world, despite its apparent decline in North America and parts of Europe. Vigorous competition between and within religious movements has led to their accumulating great power and wealth. Religions in many traditions have honed their competitive strategies over thousands of years. Today, they are big business; like businesses, they must recruit, raise funds, disburse budgets, manage facilities, organize transportation, motivate employees, and get their message out. In The Divine Economy (Princeton UP, 2024), economist Paul Seabright argues that religious movements are a special kind of business: they are platforms, bringing together communities of members who seek many different things from one another—spiritual fulfilment, friendship and marriage networks, even business opportunities. Their function as platforms, he contends, is what has allowed religions to consolidate and wield power. This power can be used for good, especially when religious movements provide their members with insurance against the shocks of modern life, and a sense of worth in their communities. It can also be used for harm: political leaders often instrumentalize religious movements for authoritarian ends, and religious leaders can exploit the trust of members to inflict sexual, emotional, financial or physical abuse, or to provoke violence against outsiders. Writing in a nonpartisan spirit, Seabright uses insights from economics to show how religion and secular society can work together in a world where some people feel no need for religion, but many continue to respond with enthusiasm to its call. Paul Seabright teaches economics at the Toulouse School of Economics, and until 2021 was director of the multidisciplinary Institute for Advanced Study in Toulouse. From 2021 to 2023, he was a Fellow of All Souls College at the University of Oxford. His books include The War of the Sexes: How Conflict and Cooperation Have Shaped Men and Women from Prehistory to the Present and The Company of Strangers: A Natural History of Economic Life (both Princeton). Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature. YouTube channel. Twitter.

Do we study the deep past only to justify our present actions toward those we deem less “civilized”? Are humans fundamentally good and altruistic or mean and self-serving? Is “human nature” warlike or peaceful? Stan's guest this week is author and historian Stefanos Geroulanos of New York University, discussing all of these issues from his ...Continue Reading »

Jak je možné, že za války se lidé mohou dopouštět vražd a jiných zvěrstev, a přitom po návratu domů se opět promění ve spořádané občany, rodiče, zaměstnance? Je to snad nějaká součást naší lidské podstaty? Dokázali bychom se vzdát potřeby válčit? V dnešní době to zní skoro jako nesmyslné téma. Jsou otázky, které jsou bolestivé a palčivé, a přitom se jejich nemůžeme vzdát, protože souvisí  až příliš blízce s podstatou člověka. Víte, že klasická antropologie se ale dlouhá léta téměř nevěnovala otázkám války? Proto v těchto dnech vychází  kniha Martina Soukupa Antropologie války. A protože v těchto dnech si připomínáme nešťastné výročí totální války Ruska proti Ukrajině, bylo o důvod víc, pobavit se nad touto otázkou i u mne na Hausbotu.Začíná další hausbotové povídání.

"Education wasn't for certain people." In this conversation, Phil and Professor Colin Beard delve into the history and evolution of experiential learning, exploring its prehistory and the cognitive capacities that have shaped human learning. They discuss the limitations of traditional educational models and the importance of recognizing the contributions of lesser-known figures in education, such as Maria Montessori and Marina Ewald. The conversation culminates in the introduction of the Holistic Experiential Learning Model (HELM), emphasizing the need for a more complex understanding of learning that incorporates various human capacities.   Humans have been learning throughout their entire existence. The evolution of learning capacities spans millions of years. Traditional educational models often overlook essential cognitive functions. Maria Montessori's contributions to education are significant yet underrecognized. The complexity of learning requires a holistic approach. Experiential learning should utilize all human capacities. Simplicity in educational models can lead to limitations. The importance of questioning in the learning process is paramount. Silenced voices in education highlight systemic biases. The Holistic Experiential Learning Model (HELM) offers a new perspective on learning.

GROVE HILL— On Jan. 26, the Clarke County Historical Society hosted a special program at Grove Hill Town Hall, delving into the history and significance of Alabama's state fossil, the Zeuglodon, an ancient whale whose bones were discovered in Clarke County. Dr. Bill Deutsch, a renowned aquatic ecologist and fossil enthusiast, presented a program titled "The History and Prehistory of Alabama's State Fossil." The event, which was free and open to the public, promised an exciting exploration of the ancient whale fossils found in Clarke County, specifically in the 1850s, which helped establish the Zeuglodon as Alabama's state fossil.

A big freeze in Franco-Algerian relations as domestic politics drive international diplomacy. France is full of dinosaur bones, but short on paleongolotists to dig them up. And France's law decriminalising abortion turns 50. The often fraught relations between France and its former colony Algeria have hit an all-time low after a series of disagreements over Western Sahara, the detention of a French-Algerian writer and a French-Algerian blogger accused of inciting violence. Both countries have spoken of "humiliation" and "dishonour". Arab world specialist  Adlene Mohammedi talks about bilateral relations being polluted by internal affairs – notably Algiers' lack of democratic legitimacy and the increasing influence of the far right in France. And while the sorely needed level-headed diplomacy  is more needed than ever, it's been run down in both countries.   (Listen @2'05'')France's remarkable geological diversity means the country is prime dinosaur territory – home to fossils from all three periods of the dinosaur age.  The first dinosaurs were discovered in France in the 19th century, but as paleontologist Eric Buffetaut explains, many of the major finds have been in the last 40 years, thanks to amateur paleontologists around the country. (Listen @21'25'')France enacted a law decriminalising abortion on 17 January 1975. Ollia Horton talks about the legacy of that right and how despite being  enshrined in the constitution, access 50 years later is still not guaranteed. (Listen @14'40")Episode mixed by Cecile Pompeani. Spotlight on France is a podcast from Radio France International.

In this enlightening episode of the Prometheus Lens Podcast, host Justin engages with returning guest Gary Wayne to explore Lord of the Rings that intertwine mythology, prehistory, and biblical narratives. The conversation delves into the connections between ancient stories, the influence of Tolkien, the nature of giants, and the allegorical significance of Atlantis and King Arthur.

In this conversation, Justin and Gary Wayne delve into the intricate connections between history, mythology, and modern narratives. They explore the concept of the divine right to rule, the ancient knowledge and technology that shaped civilizations, and the allegorical meanings behind stories like Prometheus and the Lord of the Rings.

We've got another Paternity Leave Installment, and this time, we went with a fever dream of an ep from before the show knew what it was and definitely from before the show knew what the internet could do. As mentioned over the past few weeks, this is content that's been behind the Patreon paywall for a while. Patreon payments are frozen for the time being. New Munchies can't join as paying members until that's unpaused, but you can join as a free member and at least be kept abreast of pod news...Look, we don't expect Season 1 episodes of SVU to get all the details exactly right, but in “Chat Room” (S1E18) the show gets the basics of the internet so gloriously wrong that it actually conjures many, many things into existence that didn't exist yet. Catfishing? Yeah, SVU invented that. Revenge porn? That too, sadly. Bitcoin, ffs?! Yes, Dickwolf is/was/will be Satoshi Nakamoto. Along the way to all these discoveries, we learn that SVU is a baseball show, that there is no wiggle room on chicken, and discerning listeners will be enchanted by Josh's deliriously deep dive on celebrity ocelots. Folks, we always recommend that you watch the episode in question before you listen, but this time we mean it.

Archaeology is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts, sites, and cultural landscapes. Archaeology can be considered both a social science and a branch of the humanities. It is usually considered an independent academic discipline, but may also be classified as part of anthropology (in North America – the four-field approach), history or geography.Archaeologists study human prehistory and history, from the development of the first stone tools at Lomekwi in East Africa 3.3 million years ago up until recent decades.[5] Archaeology is distinct from palaeontology, which is the study of fossil remains. Archaeology is particularly important for learning about prehistoric societies, for which, by definition, there are no written records. Prehistory includes over 99% of the human past, from the Paleolithic until the advent of literacy in societies around the world.Archaeology has various goals, which range from understanding culture history to reconstructing past lifeways to documenting and explaining changes in human societies through time.[6] Derived from Greek, the term archaeology means "the study of ancient history".The discipline involves surveying, excavation, and eventually analysis of data collected, to learn more about the past. In broad scope, archaeology relies on cross-disciplinary research.Aleksandr KuzminCultural Landscape Archaeology Internship Yosemite, CaliforniaCompliance Archaeologist May 2024-August 2024● Acquired comprehensive knowledge in identifying and documenting prehistoric andhistorical artifacts● Utilized LiDAR technology to conduct 3D scans of archaeological landscapes and artifacts,contributing to precise site documentation, analysis, and preservation.● Conducted fieldwork involving sketch mapping, surveying, and performing shovel test pits● Gained hands-on experience in cultural resource management by completing CHRIS(Cultural Heritage Resource Inventory System) forms for archaeological sitedocumentation and reporting.● Proficient in using tools such as compasses, rangefinders, and measuring equipment forprecise data collection● Monitored construction sites alongside a tribal monitor to ensure compliance with culturalresource regulations● Educated 700+ visitors on traditional Native Practices in the Yosemite History Museum.● Trained in obsidian knapping techniques with Yosemite expertsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

Historically, how were narratives used around race, species, and the beliefs of Western civilization? What have been the contemporary implications for those earlier societal beliefs?Stefanos Geroulanos is the director of the Remarque Institute, a professor of history at New York University, and the author of several books. His latest book is called The Invention of Prehistory: Empire, Violence, and Our Obsession with Human Origins. Greg and Stefanos discuss the complexities of defining human nature and the role of prehistory in understanding humanity's origins. Stefanos explores the ongoing debates about human progress, the impact of scientific discoveries like new fossils, and the culturally loaded interpretations of those findings. They also discuss how perspectives on indigenous populations and humanity's past are shaped by evolving scientific interpretations and narrative constructions, highlighting the intersection of science and politics in the research of human origins.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Show Links:Recommended Resources:TacitusCharles DarwinJean-Jacques RousseauThomas HobbesNapoleon ChagnonThe Dawn of EverythingJane GoodallMax MüllerMaurice OlenderRaymond DartNeanderthalThe Clan of the Cave BearGustav Victor Rudolf BornMemento moriOzymandiasAdam SmithGuest Profile:Stefanos-Geroulanos.comFaculty Profile at NYUHis Work:Amazon Author PageThe Invention of Prehistory: Empire, Violence, and Our Obsession with Human OriginsTransparency in Postwar France: A Critical History of the PresentThe Scaffolding of Sovereignty: Global and Aesthetic Perspectives on the History of a ConceptAn Atheism That Is Not Humanist Emerges in French ThoughtThe Problem of the FetishThe Human Body in the Age of Catastrophe: Brittleness, Integration, Science, and the Great WarStaging the Third Reich: Essays in Cultural and Intellectual HistoryThe Routledge Handbook of the History and Sociology of IdeasPower and Time: Temporalities in Conflict and the Making of HistoryWritings on MedicineKnowledge of LifeSelected Writings: On Self-Organization, Philosophy, Bioethics, and JudaismEpisode Quotes:Understanding who we are as humans is key to recognizing our differences47:37: If we can begin to admit that we are people who are culturally fundamentally, economically fundamentally different—our lemons come from half a world away, the meat that we consume from another half a world away, and so on. If we come around to understanding that our family structures, our relationships, our religious questions are structured in a different form, that our world is technologically bound, and that ultimately, one way or another, we have biological connections, but even our microbiomes must be fundamentally different from what ancient microbiomes were, then we will not end up having this need to say, "Here's where it's all begun."Recognizing fundamental problems in our story opens paths beyond human origins research54:49: Recognizing that there have been fundamental problems with a story is one path to recognizing that some of the things we believe in, and some of the hopes we want set, are not necessarily bound by that story entirely, nor were they ever necessarily or entirely bound by that story. I don't think that moral arguments would have ever utterly depended on human origins research.How human origins research helped overcome traditional views02:53: Human origins became really key at several stages, and at each of those stages, something absolutely current or something truly urgent was in play. Some of these moments had to do with overcoming traditional religious answers. Others had to do with an overcoming of ideas of human nature, so that certain kinds of stability of human nature and so on. Let's not pretend that they simply disappeared, but they did become secondary. And so human origins research came to fill that void. And in some respects, that's a real advance. And in some respects, that's a problem.Two stories that helped convince people about evolution44:40: I kept thinking, in some way, whether these stories of prehistory helped convince people about evolution. And I really thought that there were two of them that did. One was the bit that we were saying before about the thin veneer—that people came to use the expression so much and to believe there is a continuity between our antiquity and now. Not simply between another, meaning an indigenous person somewhere, but that person was a reflection of who we were. And that helped create the broader belief in human continuity. But the other one was this sense about a renaissance, that people would have to somehow come to this astonishing realization that their body is made of hundreds of thousands, millions of years, which is a story that they couldn't think of without these ruins within. 

Reproductive healthcare remains a divisive issue in the United States, and once again, abortion is on the ballot in an election nearly one month away. In 2022, the Dobbs Decision took away the constitutional right to privacy and bodily autonomy and gave states increased rights to limit and even outlaw abortions. (Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, Supreme Court Decision) The impact of this decision on women and girls resulted in forced births, preventable deaths, and legal prosecution for experiencing miscarriages and crossing state lines to seek necessary reproductive healthcare services. Due to the ever-present need for urgent response to these life-threatening and often life-ending policies, historical perspectives of women's reproductive healthcare may not always be at the forefront of the abortion debate. Today will learn from the life of a prominent 19th-century icon who offered reproductive healthcare services to women for forty years. Nicholas Syrett has written a brilliant portrayal of one of the most famous abortionists of this time in his book, “The Trials of Madame Restell: Nineteenth-Century America's Most Infamous Female Physician and the Campaign to Make Abortion a Crime” (The New Press 2023). Nicholas will share the profundity of her work amidst the scandals and consequences of the time. We will also discuss how this relates to the current state of women's reproductive rights.

This episode looks into the links between the beginning and end of the human story-the human drive to preserve a legacy and pass on a message as a civilization and the dangers of Prometheus sparking fire too deep into human consciousness.  1.

The answer may surprise you…Why do 'good' people support evil leaders? What allure does fascism hold that enables it to garner popular support? To what extent are ordinary people responsible for the development of authoritarian evil? This 13 part podcast series explores these massive questions and more through the lens of Nazi Germany and the ordinary people who collaborated or resisted as the Third Reich expanded. You'll not only learn about the horrifying, surprising, and powerful ways in which the Nazis seized and maintained power, but also fundamental lessons about what fascism is-how to spot it and why it spreads.

Whether you are someone who is reading the novel for academic purposes, or you simply want to enjoy an incredible story for it's own sake, this podcast series goes chapter by chapter into the plot, characters, and themes of the book...“The Beauty of the House is immeasurable; it's kindness infinite.” Piranesi lives in an infinite house, with no long-term memory and only a loose sense of identity. As the secrets of the House deepen and the mystery of his life becomes more sinister, Piranesi must discover who he is and how this brings him closer to the “Great and Secret Knowledge” that the House contains. Touching on themes of memory, identity, mental health, knowledge, reason, experience, meaning, reflection, ideals, and more…Piranesi will be remembered as one of the great books of the 21st century.

In this episode, Brian welcomes back Ryan Edwards, author of 'Sasquatch, A Prehistory of a Living Legend' and 'Cryptids of the World.' They discuss the genesis of Ryan's interest in cryptozoology, the inspiration behind his books, and the detailed evolutionary theories about Sasquatch. The conversation covers speculative debates on the origins of Sasquatch, potential candidates like Gigantopithecus and Dryopithecus, and compares known primate behaviors to alleged Sasquatch behaviors like nest building and adaptive intelligence. They also tackle the ecological feasibility of Sasquatch coexisting with other large omnivores and delve into psychological factors influencing Bigfoot sightings.Get Ryan's New BookGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Book Sasquatch Unleashed The Truth Behind The LegendLeave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Hangar 1 Publishing00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome 00:14 Discussing the First Book: Cryptids of the World 01:35 Diving into the New Book: Sasquatch Unleashed 02:14 Speculating on Sasquatch's Origins 04:55 Comparing Sasquatch to Other Primates 19:36 Modern Day Sasquatch Theories 20:14 Sasquatch and Primate Behavior 25:12 Ecological and Physiological Considerations 37:09 Conclusion and Book InformationBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

D." by William Ramsay (Hypertext version): https://archive.org/details/lifelettersofjos00ramsrich/page/n5/mode/2up    In this episode of Bionic Planet, we delve into the history of the science underpinning Nature-based Climate Solutions (NbCS), beginning in the 1620s, in the Flemish village of Vilvoorde. The episode kicks off with the story of Jan Baptist van Helmont, a physician who conducted an experiment planting a five-pound baby willow tree in a 200-pound pot of soil, launching a sequence of events that solved the riddle of where trees come from, accelerated the Industrial Revolution that propelled us to our current state of ecological overshoot, and planted the seeds of our eventual salvation.   The narrative then takes us through the evolution of scientific thought, from the ancient Greek philosophers to the alchemists of the Middle Ages, and eventually to the pioneers of modern chemistry like Joseph Black and Antoine Lavoisier. We explore the concepts of phlogiston, fixed air, and the discovery of oxygen, shedding light on the gradual unraveling of the mysteries of the natural world. The episode also highlights the contributions of individuals like Joseph Priestley and Jan Ingenhousz, who made key observations about the role of plants in purifying air and the process of photosynthesis. These discoveries laid the foundation for our understanding of how plants breathe in carbon dioxide and release oxygen, shaping our knowledge of the interconnectedness of ecosystems. The episode wraps up with a brief segue into the concept of latent heat, as elucidated by Joseph Black, and its pivotal role in the development of steam engines. This technological advancement sparked the Industrial Revolution, which delivered previously unimaginable wealth to the world but pushed our planet to the brink of ecological collapse.  As the host, I aim to provide a comprehensive and engaging exploration of the historical milestones that have shaped our understanding of climate and biodiversity finance. By unraveling the untold story of the voluntary carbon market, I seek to dispel myths, challenge simplistic narratives, and foster a deeper appreciation for the complexities of environmental science. Join me on this enlightening journey through the annals of scientific discovery, as we uncover the threads that connect past breakthroughs to present-day challenges and solutions. Together, we can gain a deeper insight into the intricate web of relationships that sustain life on our bionic planet. Thank you for tuning in to Bionic Planet, where we explore the past to illuminate the path forward.

I am about to start a new series for Shedcast members, called Birth of Britain. It takes British history from the year dot to somewhere around 600. So I am starting the series off with an interview with friend and archaeologist Dr Richard Grove, to give us a bit of an overview. This episode is an extract from that interview. I thought that (a) you would find it interesting and that (b) it might persuade you might sign up to be a member at The History of England Hosted on Acast.

Humanity itself might be the hardest thing for scientists to study fairly and accurately. Not only do we come to the subject with certain inevitable preconceptions, but it's hard to resist the temptation to find scientific justifications for the stories we'd like to tell about ourselves. In his new book, The Invention of Prehistory, Stefanos Geroulanos looks at the ways that we have used -- and continue to use -- supposedly-scientific tales of prehistoric humanity to bolster whatever cultural, social, and political purposes we have at the moment.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2024/04/22/273-stefanos-geroulanos-on-the-invention-of-prehistory/Support Mindscape on Patreon.Stefanos Geroulanos received his Ph.D. in humanities from Johns Hopkins.

On this episode of Unsupervised Learning Razib talks to Kristian Kristiansen, an archaeologist at the University of Gothenburg and affiliate professor at the Lundbech Center for Geogenetics, Copenhagen University. A past guest on this podcast, Kristiansen has recently contributed to an astonishing lineup of landmark papers published in Nature just in the last few months, Population genomics of post-glacial western Eurasia, Elevated genetic risk for multiple sclerosis emerged in steppe pastoralist populations, 100 ancient genomes show repeated population turnovers in Neolithic Denmark and The selection landscape and genetic legacy of ancient Eurasians. They also discuss his chapter in the 2023 book The Indo-European Puzzle Revisited: Integrating Archaeology, Genetics, and Linguistics. Razib and Kristiansen discuss the state of the emerging synthesis between archaeology, genetics and historical linguistics. Though himself an archaeologist, Kristiansen admits that in many ways historical linguists were correct, with models of mass migration now overturning those of cultural diffusion. He also gives a high-level summary of soon-to-be-published work on the spread of plague in Europe 5,000 years ago, and its role in the collapse of Neolithic civilization and the rise of steppe Indo-Europeans. Kristiansen gives a summary of recent developments in understanding the archaeology of Bronze Age Northern Europe, and in particular the expansion of the Corded Ware people. Razib and Kristiansen also discuss the role of distinct migration streams of the steppe people and their contribution to various Indo-European populations. Is it time to wonder if the Greeks descended from Corded Ware or Yamnaya?
