AnthroBiology Podcast

46

The AnthroBiology Podcast sits down with biological anthropologists once or twice a month to learn about what they do and why it's rad. Want to know more about our evolutionary past? Or what your bones say about you? Maybe chimps are more your speed? If it's anthropology and it's about humans, we'll cover it. Learn more at anthrobiology.com

    Anthropology brought to LIFE!
    This is by far one of the greatest anthropology podcasts to date! As an Anthropology student with a forensic certificate is the best why to learn all subfields and peak interests!
  • mountain man Drew
    Great podcast
    Very informative, science based podcast.
  • Appalachianhistoryteacher
    Helpful, fun and compelling to listeners from many backgrounds
    This is a podcast that should have existed from the start. The host is charming and knowledgeable. Just as importantly, she is aware that listeners may vary from rank amateurs to those who already have long and formal training in the discipline. A lot of academic podcasts fail on this front and so exclude the former or repel the latter. I teach a Paleoanthropology survey to high school students, and will incorporate this going forward. Not only for the reasons mentioned, but because the host humanizes the guests without condescending to the audience. This is welcome to those of us who’ve been reading in the field for decades and is essential for budding scientists.
  • Javi N.S.
    Great informational podcast!
    As someone who’s more on the herpetology side of biology, I really learned a lot from the podcast. Loved listening to the interviews and it’s become a way for me to relax during this crazy time. Highly recommend it!
  • JuliaJulia1
    love!!!
    Just discovered this podcast & I wish I had found it sooner! I’m finishing up my undergrad in anthropology & am going to grad school to study bioarch/forensic anthro. This podcast is great for anthropologists/anthropology students & I think it would be great for anyone who has general interest in these topics as it’s easy to follow along with!!
  • A-L-I-S-S
    Perfect for anyone!
    I literally failed the only anthropology class I took in college, but this podcast is interesting and rigorous while still being accessible to lay people. Gaby takes the time to explain everything, but it never feels condescending. I love the open and honest discussions about the politics and behind the scenes struggles in academia!
  • thatanthropodcast
    Love from a fellow Anthro Podcaster!!
    I just found this podcast - and I am in love! As a current anthropology student (and the host of my own podcast, That Anthro Podcast) I loved learning and listening! Audio quality is great too
  • Debkat81
    Fantastic!!
    Informative, well thought out (much appreciated by this listener), packed full of info and resources. It’s easy to see the host is excited and knowledgeable about every interview which makes it exciting for listeners. Well done! Thank you.
  • AniiChan132
    Amazing!
    Podcast is incredibly informative and they try to really let people who might not be well-versed in anthro vernacular also enjoy and learn. I would recommend it. I can’t wait to see how much it grows and improves over time.
  • GAVINA2019
    Great and informative podcast!!
    I love this podcast! I learn something new about topics that I didn’t even know existed in every episode. Gaby is an amazing host! She is entertaining, asks her guests to explain the concepts in easy to understand term and chooses interesting guests. Keep up the good work!!

  • ekcd
    New to this area
    I was introduced to this podcast by my daughter and I love it. I am not familiar with this area but the knowledgeable guests and the interviewer have taught me so many things. Keep the episodes coming!
  • MikeAnthro
    AnthroBiology is awesome!
    As someone that has been away from the field for awhile since undergrad, this podcast is a great refresher for me. I’m always on the lookout for any content that is centered around bio anthropology so I’m thrilled. As for the podcast, the interviews are compelling, personable, and fun. I’ve also learned new things as a result. This podcast is also great for people that are new to biological anthropology as Gabby does a great job with breaking down topics. Keep up the great work and I look forward to more episodes and seasons!
