[QUOTE]Originally posted by BrandonP: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb]I know first hand from my college days how anthropology departments house many ideologues, some of whom have ideologies that are not much different from the Nazi Ahnenerbe! For example, I even had a professor who was a Solutreanist who believed Kennewick Man to be a lost Nordic ancestor! [b]LOL[/b] The old guy even wore his hair long in Native American style even though he claims to be of pure Scandinavian descent. [/qb][/QUOTE]Rather surprised that guy got to be a professor. In my own experience, most fully credentialed anthropologists would more likely err on the progressive or "woke" side. They wouldn't dare endorse a narrative that claims White people beat Native Americans' ancestors to the Americas. That being said, I do think the topic attracts a lot of amateurs with questionable opinions and agendas. We all know how Eurocentric a lot of the armchair anthropologists you find online (both in forums and on social media) tend to be. In fact, that's often the case with fandoms built around the sciences (e.g. you won't believe how toxic the paleontology fandom can be, although that's off topic for this thread). Academics are far from perfect, of course, but amateur science nerds can be absolutely nuts sometimes. [/QB][/QUOTE]
