What role does power play in research? As we’ve seen in The Unburied Podcast Season 1 and Season 2, power plays an immeasurable role in the lives of those who were studied as artefacts and not people. In The Unburied Podcast Season 2 Episode 3, we uncover how much of an impact power had on the people studied by a Raymond Dart in South Africa. 🎧 Listen via the link in bio Produced by ArcDocs in collaboration with The Human Evolution Institute and The University of Cape Town #arcdocs #unburiedpodcast #podcast #history #hiddenhistory #reclaiminghistory #documentary #indigenousvoices

It is interesting to think that without South Africa’s mining activity, these fossils might have stayed buried forever. Without the mining industry, we would have been left with a huge gap in our understanding of early human evolution. Want to know more about how South Africa’s colonial history shaped not only South Africa, but the world? 🎧 Listen to The Unburied Podcast, follow the link in our bio 👉🏽 #humanevolution #archaeology #sciencefacts #humanorigins #watchthis

I’m naming it.” Maybe it’s time to rethink what we still value today. 🎧 Listen via bio or: https://linktr.ee/arcdocs Produced by ArcDocs in collaboration with The Human Evolution Institute and The University of Cape Town #unburiedpodcast #hiddenhistory #sciencefacts #historypodcast #humanrights #arcdocs #taungchild #colonialhistory

The Taung Child proved humanity’s African origins, but behind the science lies a story of racism, colonial power, and exploitation. This episode uncovers how brilliance and harm became intertwined, and how today’s scientists are reshaping the field with justice and care. 🎧 Listen via bio or: https://linktr.ee/arcdocs Produced by ArcDocs in collaboration with The Human Evolution Institute and The University of Cape Town #unburiedpodcast #hiddenhistory #sciencefacts #history #humanrights #arcdocs #taungchild
