When we think about egalitarian societies like the Hadza we imagine extreme generosity in food sharing.
But our newest faculty member @dstibbardhawkes.bsky.social has found that while people are indeed generous, "taking" is often more important than "giving".

Garrett Cook and John Shaver were honored to receive a military challenge coin from Anthropology major Cyrus Cellers. This is an honor from the military community and reflects the appreciation student veterans have for the support, mentorship, and dedication of faculty to veterans at Baylor.
Note: The missing "s" in "Congratulations" was due to the Bluesky server outage yesterday, and @bayloranthro.bsky.social takes no responsibility.
Baylor anthropology was very proud to have Fran Rivera represent our department at the Baylor Academic Honors Convocation on behalf of two of our students - Morgan Dillard and Riley Brown.
More Baylor anthropology successes! Shinina Shani won the HBA Phyllis Eveleth Outstanding Graduate Student Poster Presentation Award for her poster "Glucose breath tests among Maasai children in rural Kenya" at the HBA/EAA meeting in Denver ! Well done Shinina! Hongera sana!
Congratulation to one of our newest grad students My Linh Huynh-Lucero (@mylinhhulu.bsky.social) who has secured a highly competitive NSF GRFP award, recognizing outstanding graduate students in STEM. This year there was only a 5% acceptance rate in the life sciences, so very well done My Linh.
Yet *more* Baylor anthropology successes from Denver! Marcela Pfaff-Nash won the EAS student podium presentation award for her talk "Intestinal energy loss among Indigenous Shuar children of Amazonian Ecuador" at the HBA/EAA meeting. The talk was a labor of love, and it's so nice seeing it pay off!
This podcast interview with Vivek Venkataraman (@vivek123.bsky.social) explores work coauthored by Baylor Anthropology's own @dstibbardhawkes.bsky.social. Well worth a listen!
It's student research week at Baylor and there has been a great showing from Anthropology students, with posters and talks exploring topics as diverse as cortisol, zoonoses, healthcare, decomposition and bone weathering!

New episode!! 🎙️🎉
A conversation w/ @vivek123.bsky.social about Man the Hunter.
The idea that male hunting propelled our evolution is old and contested. Yet it endures, especially in the popular imagination. Is it merely a "paleofantasy," or is there more to it?
