The sad thing about those headlines is that they are both news and in a sense not news.

Debunking the myth of truly egalitarian societies in human history.

Of course. All Hunter-Gatherers are equal, but some hunt and gather more than others. And you know, even though they were more advanced than previously thought, the only thing equal with Hunter-Gatherers was grunting and groaning if they built Gobeckli Tepe. There would…[Read more]

How, when and why wellness influencers have gained the ability to spread health misinformation on social media.

The length of this article is part the reason why wellness disinformation prevails. You could watch 100 TikTok wellness videos in the time it takes to read this article.
