このコンテンツについて
In our very first episode, we’re digging into one of anthropology’s wildest scandals – the rise and spectacular fall of Reiner Protsch, the German anthropologist who faked fossil dates, forged documents, and even tried to sell a university’s chimpanzee skull collection for cash. Protsch’s decades-long career unraveled after an embezzlement attempt exposed a tangled web of lies about his data, his credentials, and even his own identity.
Join Tara (5th-year archaeology PhD student) and Claire (4th-year paleoanthropology PhD student) as they trace how Protsch’s fraudulent radiocarbon dates reshaped – and nearly rewrote – the story of Homo sapiens in Europe. Along the way, they unpack what this scandal reveals about data transparency in science, the lingering shadow of racialized archaeology in Germany, and how modern methods are setting the record straight on human evolution.
💀 Fraud, fossils, and fake aristocracy – this one has it all.
(Includes discussion of the Open Data Movement, early European H. sapiens finds, and the long-term consequences of scientific misconduct.)
