On this weeks SoS episode, we bring you a guest episode from Inking of Immunity podcast, brought to you by Chris Lynn, Becci Owens, Mike Smetana, Julia Sponholtz & Patricia Arnett. In this episode, they interview Dr. Aaron Deter-Wolf. Aaron Deter-Wolf is a Prehistoric Archaeologist with the Tennessee Division of Archaeology in Nashville, where his responsibilities include managing ancient Native American sites on State-owned lands and conducting archaeological excavations and research. In addition to his work in Tennessee, for the past decade Aaron has been a leading researcher in developing the archaeological study of tattooing. Those efforts include using contextual analysis and microscopic use-wear signatures to identify tattooing tools in archaeological collections, efforts to systematically document tattoos on mummified human remains, and experiments recreating and testing ancient and historic tattooing implements. In 2009 Aaron organized the first American academic symposium to examine ancient and early historic Native American tattooing, which culminated in the volume Drawing with Great Needles: Ancient Tattoo Traditions of North America. He is co-editor of the volume Ancient Ink: The Archaeology of Tattooing, and in recent years was part of research teams that identified ancient tattooing tools including a 2,000-year old set of cactus spines from Utah, and 5,000-year old turkey bone needles from Tennessee. He and Ben Robitaille share information about the history of tattooing and body modification on the Instagram account @archaeologyink.

Dr. Kara Hoover from the Department of Anthropology at the University of Alaska Fairbanks chats with Chris and Cara about her research on the human sense of smell. She tells us about the development of testing tools needed to understand olfactory ability and how olfactory research can provide insight into human adaptation, the long-term consequences of Covid-19, and the relationship between pollution and cognitive impairment. To learn more about Dr. Hoover's work and the often overlooked, yet incredibly important subject of olfactory research please visit https://smellofevolution.com You can read Dr. Hoover's paper on "Field-testing olfactory ability to understand human olfactory ecology" in the American Journal of Human Biology here: https://doi.org/10.1002/ajhb.23411 and contact Dr. Hoover via email at kchoover@alaska.edu or on Twitter at @KaraCHoover Contact the Sausage of Science and Human Biology Association: Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/humanbiologyassociation Website:humbio.org/, Twitter: @HumBioAssoc Cara Ocobock, Website: sites.nd.edu/cara-ocobock/, Email:cocobock@nd.edu, Twitter:@CaraOcobock Chris Lynn, HBA Public Relations Committee Chair, Website:cdlynn.people.ua.edu/, Email:cdlynn@ua.edu, Twitter:@Chris_Ly Theresa Gildner, Website: bonesandbehavior.org/theresa_gildner, Email: Theresa.E.Gildner@dartmouth.edu, Twitter: @TEGildner Delaney Glass, Website: dglass.netlify.app/, Email: dglass1@uw.edu, Twitter: @GlassDelaney Alexandra Niclou, Email: aniclou@nd.edu, Twitter: @fiat_Luxandra

Dr. Benjamin Campbell is an Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee specializing in the evolution of human life course. He focuses on the way steroid hormones form a critical link between energetics and the timing of important life events, including childhood growth, pubertal maturation, and senescence. His recent work is on the role of DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) and DHEAS (dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate) in human development, and he has a recent publication in Frontiers of Endocrinology called “DHEAS and Human Development: An Evolutionary Perspective” that we’re talking about today.
