A Review of Origin: A Genetic History of the Americas
<p>In this final episode of season three, we review Origin: A Genetic History of the Americas by noted geneticist, Jennifer Raff. While the book is about the first peopling of the Americas, something that the study of DNA and mtDNA has drastically changed, a large portion of the book is also devoted to the development of physical anthropology and the archaeological evidence for the earliest peopling of both Americas. This book gives a graduate course in interdisciplinary studies of who the first people were, where they came from, and how they got here in a readily accessible and sympathetic style. We highly recommend it!</p> <p>Intro Music: Zac Bell</p> <p>Exit Music: Jean Claude Hatungimana</p> <p>Cover Art: Emily Noble Day</p>

Revolutionary Rhetoric and Slavery
<p>N.B.- This episode contains quotes from primary sources and may contain language considered offensive today. </p> <p>Continuing on the topic of revolution and freedom, in this episode, we ask if the revolutionary rhetoric, the language used to discuss freedom from Britain, had any impact on slavery. Many founding fathers tended to compare British treatment of white male citizens of the colonies to slavery, yet slavery as an institution continued well into the 19th century in the newborn United States. Was there any sort of understanding of the hypocrisy involved? Did the prevailing themes of freedom and emancipation from Britain begin to echo in regards to race-based chattel slavery?</p> <p><br></p> <p>Also, please bear with us as the audio quality in this episode reflects our upcoming relocation of recording space. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Intro Music: Zac Bell</p> <p>Exit Music: Jean Claude Hatungimana</p> <p>Cover Art: Emily Noble Day</p>
