I am moving on and today is my last day in @UniKentSAC (as was). From Monday I will be moving to @KMMSmedschool where I’ll be teaching future doctors the ways of evolutionary anthropology and human sexuality (among other things). An exciting new start!

Recommended read, cautioning about assuming history began in 1950 & “reading history sideways”: “Apart from a few decades in 1800s, the only time since 1550 that the average age of first marriage for women fell below 24 was during the 1950s/60s baby boom”

Anthropology is closing at Kent. We were unsuccessful in persuading management to retain this diverse and dynamic subject area. This spells the end for Social Anthropology, Biological Anthropology and Ethnobotany. Done. https://t.co/aEDG00OI4y
