Man The Hunter should not be accepted blindly, but is the strong male bias in hunting really a "myth"? Here is my plot of the most comprehensive data on individual hunting returns that I know, Koster et al. 2020🧪 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... (Caveat: the Koster data do have limitations & biases)

Scientific American cover. Woman the Hunter: New science debunks the myth that men evolved to hunt and women to gather

Plot of individual hunting returns (in kilograms) per trip, by society and sex.

Is there a "crisis in the humanities"? Why? Thanks to @xphilosopher.bsky.social for pointing me (from the other site) to data and testable explanations of a "sudden and truly massive decrease in interest in the humanities within academia". How might you explain this? I'll add some thoughts below.

On October 7, Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel. We verified footage taken by the militants themselves and recently shared on Telegram to help piece together the events. www.bellingcat.com/news/2023/10...

Interesting stuff all around but this Liam Donovan line sticks: "so long as voters continue to channel their frustrations with Washington by sending people committed to burning it down, the cycle of dysfunction will continue."

Congratulations to @zeitzoff.bsky.social on his new book, a timely and compelling look at why democratic politicians turn to insults and violence even though it turns off voters. Drawing on original data from the US, Israel, and Ukraine, it’s a role model for cross-subfield work!
