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.

Lol. Unidentified “professors”. Like every other story it’s just a couple of loonies with degrees. No serious student of anthropology or archaeology would do this.

She’s an idiot. Sadly only the math and engineering departments at SJSU are reasonable

I call for the end of any anthropology departments and thus it’s funding.

“Peak ludicrous” is still undefined, there is plenty more where that came from.

Discoveries of human remains through anthropology studies, and determining the gender and probable line of ancestry, will still go on, without regard to whether the subjects of the study, the remains, had any opinions about their gender identity or who their forefathers may have been, or they simply accepted the facts of the world, as they were introduced to those circumstances that put them on sudden alert.

Just existing was enough of a challenge, that made most of these fine distinctions pretty much negligible.

Face it, snowflakes. Almost nobody cares about your “fine distinctions”. Most certainly not those dusty relics.

These female professors appear to be “educated” far beyond their intelligence capacity. The concept of “keeping them knocked up and barefoot” seems like a far more sensible condition than making them into over-educated blithering fools, as they demonstrate themselves to be. IMHO.

Oh for cryin’ out loud! If someone back then acted like the morons today, they would have been stabbed and left for the critters of the forest to dine on, lest they pollute the society of the time.
