An archaeologist and a Lakota genomics scientist explain how combining archaeology, DNA, and Indigenous knowledge can help revise colonial human-horse narratives largely associated with the western U.S. This special SAPIENS podcast season, co-hosted by Doris Tulifau and Kate Ellis, tells the story of famed anthropologist Margaret Mead’s epic life and controversial research in American Samoa to explore key quandaries about the human experience: sex and adolescence, nature versus nurture, and the question of whether it’s ever possible to fully understand cultures different from your own. In addition, we hear from Samoans themselves about their views on Mead’s legacy and their lives today.
