Prep work

Please read these three papers

Details

Write your first blog post based on the readings. One topic could be how your previous classes have dealt w/ the issues raised in the readings; examples of how this can be done better; or simply what you thought while reading the papers. You could also use the readings as a jumping off point for discussing other aspects of anthropology that intersect with these ideas...

How to do it:

Use the 3 papers (and any others you know of/can find) as a scaffold for the post. You don't have to reference them all and there is no set format for referencing Think about adding visuals to your blog

We want to begin to think about who gets to tell the story of human origins. As we all know, there is a lot of controversy about where we come from. But rather than center a debate about creationism (though you are free to explore that in your post!) I thought it would be interesting to see how recent work is pushing against the narrative in a different way
