Here in Canada, on CBC radio, there's a once interesting program called Ideas. It's now totally woke, and one show featured an Indian lady who has an affirmative action PhD. She said that from now on all archaeology involving The Indigenous must first require a consultation with the spirits of the ancestors as to what research they want. The spirits will also advise as to correct conclusions. One of those received conclusions is that The Indigenous have always been here. They didn't come from Asia, firstly because that continent wasn't called Asia at the time, and secondly because white people cannot understand The Indigenous Way Of Knowing time which makes it possible for The Indigenous to have always been here. And no snickering please or you'll be cancelled.
I was surprised Spirit Cave Man was repatriated. Believe RC date was around 9400 bP. I am critical of anyone pretending they have cultural or biological affiliation with someone who died that long ago (w/b more in Calender years; likely more related does not mean affiliation, to me, BUT, a few papers relating I have not read yet; been out of the discipline for 20 years; used to love its robusticity and once emphasis on critical analysis of the data). Thanks for your views.
Elizabeth, I've enjoyed reading of your work in the past and I've watched a few of your Youtube interviews. You've been raising the alarm bells for while and I didn't think it would get this bad, but apparently it did because people have gone crazy, just like with so many other topics.
While native peoples are irritated by Pretendians, I think this is a new form of Pretendianism instantiated by First Peoples and foisted on an ignorant and ever guilt-ridden education system. They are likely no more related to these ancient remains and ancient cultures than I am, but they get to suppress access for everyone. It's nihilistic.
Human history belongs to humanity - all of us, and I think it is criminal to be given the power to forbid investigation and discourage access to avenues for learning about ancient peoples and their communities.
In the meantime, I've become completely jealous of all of the research going on in the UK with regards to ancient remains and burial goods. They even solicit local populations to join into the work under supervision. They do not seem to shrink away from exploring their historic peoples, which seem to be very much older than ours.
Good luck to you. Things may change soon, hopefully, but so much has been lost during these Little Dark Ages that discourage learning and sharing information.
I hope you all can pass on the study below. It slays the myth that trans ideology affects only the few. Just extrapolate this study of misreported trans crimes to medicine, economics or any other field.
Presently, and this worsens as each day goes by, the statistical underpinnings of our research are rotting away by the inclusion of false information in many of our most crucial data bases. These data bases are meant to provide a foundation for all research and studies on crime, medicine, education and economics. Without the use of valid statistics all conclusions in these areas become corrupted and meaningless. See article below on crime & justice to realize just how enormous an impact this falsification of data is already having. B.W.
P.S. Transgender identified men have the highest rates of H.I.V. If that figure were included in the data base for women I wonder how would it affect treatment targets and outcomes?

This doesn't surprise me at all!

Brilliant job Elizabeth! :-) Thank you for your work.

This makes me so sad. It’s crazy how these supposedly intellectual people have been captured by nonsensical beliefs.
