Relying on both physiological & archaeological evidence, @artslettersND professor Cara Ocobock is aiming to correct history. She's found that women's anatomy & biology would have made them intrinsically better suited for the practice of hunting than men: go.nd.edu/639d28

In this week's Sausage of Science, Eric Griffith & Courtney Manthey-Pierce (Courtney Manthey) chat with Dr. Meradeth Snow from University of Montana about aDNA, genetic research logistics & ethics, & matching pajamas at this year's HBA meeting! soundcloud.com/humanbiologyas…

.Cara Ocobock is joined by Charles Roseman to discuss the finer points of why/how "adaptionist" thinking can lead us all down scientific dead ends. Bonus fun: We also learn a little bit about squirrels and nicotine withdrawal. on.soundcloud.com/zLCmsKS3bzfanc…

This is a wonderful write up of what we know about extreme cold exposure in WIRED. It was a fun interview to do and great to be featured alongside Stephanie Levy. Notre Dame Research Notre Dame Anthropology University of Notre Dame wired.com/story/how-your…

Are you freezing your a$$ off this week and curious about how humans adapt to the cold? Curl up by the fire with hot tea & read about cold weather adaptations - featuring research & interviews with 2 awesome human biologists! Cara Ocobock & Stephanie Levy wired.com/story/how-your…

Did a couple of fun shows recently: 1. Woman the Hunter with the Uncivilized Podcast: youtube.com/watch?v=y8-zNH… 2. Cold climate adaptations and humans at extremes with Degrees of Health: youtube.com/@degreesofheal…

In American Anthropologist—THE JOURNAL, Cara Ocobock & Sarah A Lacy present physiological evidence indicating that biological females may be metabolically better suited for endurance activities, w/ implications for understanding subsistence patterns in human history. anthrosource.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

Reminds me to say Paleolithic lifeways do not have to be represented by living forager communities—and probably are not.

On Humans Cara Ocobock Raymond Hames (@rayhames.bsky.social) Vivek V. Venkataraman I wrote a response (with a baby in my arms). It is telling that the twitter attacks have not come from Paleolithic specialists: docs.google.com/document/d/1Dl…

Come see me, Agustín Fuentes Cara Ocobock Christopher Lynn others who I can’t find their handles! It’s going to be great!

Tomorrow I have the pleasure and honor of chatting with Cara Ocobock about her career, her advice, and of course, Women the Hunter! The albeit logical idea that she and colleagues recently published on showing evidence that gender roles in hunting were not as rigid as thought!

I had an amazing chance to talk with Cara Ocobock, and we had an electric chat about the role #women play in #human #evolution, how humans adapt to extreme #climates, and so much more! Check it out: youtu.be/93FtikAG0tI #Paleoanthropology #Anthropology #STEM #SciComm

TODAY at 5pm ET - University of Notre Dame's Cara Ocobock joins Wharton People Analytics's Laura Zarrow for a fascinating conversation about the role women play in human evolution & her research that shows that in prehistoric times, females hunted just as much as males did! 🔊Tune in on #SiriusXM132🔊

Super pleased to announce a new article out this week on “The value of podcasting in human biology.” This article is really about developing metrics to measure the impacts of our #scicomm & #publiclyengagedscholarship with Courtney Manthey & Cara Ocobock onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/aj…
