A geography professor at a leading British university has described the study of rocks and the natural world as racist and linked the academic field to 'white supremacy'.
Kathryn Yusoff, who lectures at the prestigious Queen Mary University of London, said that the geology as a subject was 'riven by systematic racism' and influenced heavily by colonialism.
The study of prehistoric life through fossils was also branded as an enabler for racism, with the professor referring to the field of palaeontology as 'pale-ontology'.

Start reacting to crappola like this with: “Oh, pi$$ off.” Then walk away. Laugh at them.
This nutty professor is on the dole. She is ripping off the UK taxpayers. She “teaches” at a public, taxpayer supported university.
>>>>>>>>>>>>> Queen Mary University of London is a public research university, not a private institution12. As a public university, it receives significant funding from taxpayers through government grants and subsidies.
That thing needs to be smashed with a huge stone.
Add the song “Hold that Tiger.”
Not to mention a host of food products from Aunt Jemima to Uncle Ben.
Great, now I’m going to have spend unproductive hours at Uncyclopedia.
Thanks, I think. 😀
Keep up the good work, honey!
The Anthropocene is a rejected proposal[note 1] for a geological epoch following the Holocene, dating from the commencement of significant human impact on Earth up to the present day. This impact affects Earth's oceans, geology, geomorphology, landscape, limnology, hydrology, ecosystems and climate.[1][2] The effects of human activities on Earth can be seen for example in biodiversity loss and climate change.
An early concept for the Anthropocene was the Noosphere by Vladimir Vernadsky, who in 1938 wrote of "scientific thought as a geological force".[16] Scientists in the Soviet Union appear to have used the term Anthropocene as early as the 1960s to refer to the Quaternary, the most recent geological period.[17]
Yusoff...sounds Soviet alright.
Just noticed this as well: The map behind her is marked “VEB Hermann Haack”.
While Hermann Haack was a noted cartographer and geographer, “VEB” denotes a communist East German “people’s enterprise” collective. (Pretty much all GDR companies were VEBs.)

So those are the maps she chooses. (Granted, they were good maps.)
Thanks. A chuckle for the afternoon after raking leaves is greatly appreciated. :)
Warming trend from a cold era. Still colder now than during most of history.
I guess it depends who is throwing it and at who.
Yes. IIRC, only about 25% of Earth’s non-Archean history was in ice-age status. Technically, we’re in a ice age now, so warmer is “normal”.
Within an ice age are glaciations. Wooly mammoth time was not the end of an ice age but the maximum extent of the last glaciation. There have been 60 in the past 4 million years, identifiable by moraine in the geologic record.
Based on the average, we’d be about 10-15k years into a 33k year warming before it gets cold again, presuming the current ice age continues.
Kathryn in England can be a guys name
Gneiss one.
Plug that bio into an AI and ask for an explanation.
