Join us on Saturday April 25, 2020 as we welcome back Dr. Shomarka Keita, biological anthropologist, to our program for another exciting discussion about African history (in general) and Nile-Valley history (in particular). While our first discussion was a general introduction to biological anthropology, its methods, concerns, and general application to African and Egyptological studies, this conversation is a little bit more focused and narrow. For our second interview, Dr. Keita will discuss the following:
1) Modern statistical studies on the biological affinity of the ancient Egyptians (e.g., dental vs craniofacial evidence, cephalometry, etc.);
2) New archaeological studies that speak to the origins of ancient Egypt. And,
3) The latest on the fight and details of COVID-19 on African-Americans
This will definitely be an engagement that requires some serious note-taking. So, we encourage our listeners to have a pin-and-pad ready (as well as some snacks
) for jotting down notes and sources. Unlike our previous programs, this show encourages the listener to read the following texts prior to the discussion. Many of the points in these texts will be brought up throughout the interview. Please subscribe (if you have not already), share, and hit the notify button so you are sent a reminder for the show.
