Anthropologists Call for an End to Classifying Human Remains by Gender and Ancestry

There is an interesting controversy brewing in anthropology departments where professors have called for researchers to stop identifying ancient human remains by biological gender because they cannot gauge how a person identified at that the time. Other scholars are calling for researchers to stop identifying race as a practice because it fuels white supremacy. One of the academics objecting to this effort to stop gender identifications, San Jose State archaeology Professor Elizabeth Weiss, is currently suing her school. Weiss maintains that she was barred from access to the human remains collection due to her opposition to the repatriation of human remains. The school objected that she posted a picture holding a skull from the collection on social media, expressing how she was “so happy to be back with some old friends.”

The conservative site College Fix quotes various academics in challenging the identification of gender and notes the campaign of the Trans Doe Task Force to “explore ways in which current standards in forensic human identification do a disservice to people who do not clearly fit the gender binary.”

University of Kansas Associate Professor Jennifer Raff argued in a paper, “Origin: A Genetic History of the Americas,” that there are “no neat divisions between physically or genetically ‘male’ or ‘female’ individuals.” Her best selling book has been featured on various news outlets like MSNBC.

I can't disagree. That's a good solution. But throwing them out of helicopter at 3000 feet works too. Gus heartily concurs.

So, would this put an end to repatriation, then?

They also use BCE instead of BC....

BC means before Christ, whereas BCE means before the Common Era

Yeah? How many? I’m betting it’s a very small noisy few. Unfortunately, it only takes a few loudmouthed nuts to set the rules, nowadays.

I have some Bible reference books written in the 1950’s, in which BCE was used, instead of BC. I was shocked.

Or the dynamiting of the ancient Buddha statue in Afghanistan by the troglodytes.

You ain’t seen nothin’ yet… the cultural Marxists are just getting started. All of this ends with your death due to white supremacy.

and Professor Elizabeth Weiss looks almost exactly what you think she would look like sans blue hair and she’s not grossly obese. She is rockin’ that ugly angry school librarian look.

And how could a anthropologist claim “white supremacy” when they proclaim all human life began in Africa, and at one time we were all ‘black’ Africans.

Then they’re not anthropologists—they’re activists.

With respect, those two buddha statues do not compare to a vast ancient library. I hear your concern, though.

The General makes an appearance!

As long as it is a rainbow-colored helicopter running on green fuel...

No. Never mind.

Make it a black helicopter dumping raw JP4 and spewing C02...

I’m torn between laughing and crying, because so many people refuse to live in reality.
