Jeremy DeSilva discusses ground-breaking research
Jeremy DeSilva is an accidental anthropologist. The anthropology professor never planned to pursue a career in the field, and never took a single anthropology course in his undergraduate years at Cornell University. After five years in science education at the Boston Museum of Science, DeSilva became interested in human evolution and went on to pursue his doctorate at the University of Michigan, specializing in the locomotion of the first apes and early human ancestors. DeSilva is fascinated by the way fossils can help us understand the past and change the way we view our present human experiences. He primarily studies the human foot and ankle, and his research has helped us understand the origins and evolution of upright walking in the human lineage. He has studied wild chimpanzees in Uganda and Kenya, investigated early human fossils in South Africa and plans to bring his worldwide travel experiences and love of teaching to Dartmouth. The Dartmouth sat down with DeSilva to discuss his passion for paleoanthropology, his current research focuses and the unifying similarities of the human species.

Verbum Ultimum: A Dangerous Protest
Election Day is fast approaching. Between the campaigns to register — you really should, it isn’t hard — and the endless speculation over every interruption, fact check and sniffle from Monday’s debate, it seems like the presidential race is all that is on anyone’s mind at the moment. In getting to this point, several people’s preferred candidates on either side have been knocked out of the race. Many progressive, generally younger Democrats bemoan the end of Bernie Sanders’ quixotic attempt at the presidency, and scores of moderate Republicans have expressed uneasiness over having Donald Trump — a man for whom “problematic” is an understatement — represent their party. Because of the numerous real or perceived flaws in both of the candidates, many of which have been reinforced through specific media coverage, the narrative for this election for many Americans has become about choosing between the lesser of two evils.
Szuhaj: Social Media: A Performance
In his recent “Make Happy” tour, comedy prodigy Bo Burnham, whose inventive songs often provide commentary on social issues, took a moment to seriously address the audience. Burnham argued, with an impressive degree of awareness and charm, that we are all constantly performing. Social media, he asserted before transitioning back into the show, is the market’s solution to the underlying need we all feel to preform for an audience.

Martha Redbone to perform 'Bone Hill: the Concert' tonight
“How sweet I roam’d from field to field and tasted all the summer’s pride,” Independent Music Award winner Martha Redbone croons in her third studio album “The Garden of Love.” The album sets the words of 19th-century poet William Blake to Appalachian folk music. It’s an odd combination, but somehow it works. Her album sounds contemporary and modern yet nostalgic. Of course, Redbone is not foreign to combining different cultures, time periods and places — she grew up in the Appalachians and has African-American, Cherokee and European ancestry.
