TDIHS #9 | Dr. Flint Dibble | Archaeology, Animal Bones, and how Flint Dibble saved Archaeology
In this episode of the David Ian Howe Show, I sit down with Dr. Flint Dibble.Flint Dibble is an archaeologist and classicist best known for his work in zooarchaeology, his educational social media presence, and more recently… the first archaeology MMA match on the Joe Rogan Experience in which he debated Graham Hancock.Flint has been on a ton of podcasts and interviews since his appearance on JRE, so I wanted to be the first to interview Flint archaeologist to archaeologist. And I was stoked with how well this went.I’ve been pretty vocal about how I feel that constantly complaining about, ragging on, or even outright insulting Hancock’s character is just NOT the way to go. It’s a bad look for the field and discipline, and only helps him gain more of a controversial following.In my opinion, Hancock is a person with opinions and ideas that should be heard, and not vilified; it just becomes whining and is not constructive. But instead, (and I have been just as vocal about this) my opinion has been that we need to sit down and talk with people like Hancock; that is way more constructive. So, I was really excited to sit down and talk with Flint, as he is the person who did just that—and changed the game doing so.The debate and Hancock understandably take up much of the podcast if that’s what you’re wanting to hear. However, what I really wanted to talk to him about was his upbringing, his research, and his opinions on theory and archaeology. And of course, thoughts on animals, and what it means to be human. Please enjoy this episode, and Flint’s answers to these questions.____________________________________DavidWebsite: https://www.Davidianhowe.comPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/davidianhowe Store: https://www.davidianhowe.com/storeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ethnocynologyDiscord: https://discord.gg/WQSt39jHTgFlintYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FlintDibblePatreon: https://www.patreon.com/flintdibbleInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/flintdibbleX: https://www.x.com/flintdibble_________
