"Gaines asked senior lecturer at the school’s anthropology department Gabby Yearwood, "If you were to dig up two humans one hundred years from now, both man and woman, could you tell the difference, strictly off of bones?"

"No!" the professor replied as the room erupted in laughter.

A senior anthropology lecturer fucking said this?! I have no words...I was hoping it was some English Lit professor or something rather than an actual expert in the field . How the fuck is this real?

It's already considered racist to say a person's race can be identified through their skull structure.

That's how forensic anthropology works. When a John or Jane Doe's skeleton is found, forensic anthropology tells investigators what this individual looked like in life. When a Black woman's skeleton is found, she won't be reported as a White man, or Asian woman.

These crazy rat fucks say there are no races, just clines.

There has been a push to imply White people are not from this planet, and there is no native homeland for White people: everywhere was stolen by the peaceful Natives.

I winder if they understand white skin comes from Neanderthaals who were very much native to Europe and Asia.

In the fandom for Game of Thrones & its book series, fanartists love to draw the ethnic group called First Men as brown-skinned, when the First Men inhabit the equivalent of Scotland.
