TDIHS #3 | Donny Dust | Dogs, Stone Tools, Survival, and what it means to be Human. @davidianhowe

David Ian Howe Donny Dust has been a solid mentor the last few years. Since his TikTok exploded, it's been ironic to watch my caveman sensei(?) amass over 10 million followers on TikTok. All 10mil of whom....in 2023, watch him make stone tools everyday.

Here's us chatting about dogs, rocks, prehistory, and how his time as USMC Counterintelligence kinda made him an applied anthropologist, survivalist, and educator.But mostly about the things mentioned in the title.

We excavated a mammoth!

David Ian Howe 2024-10-16 | How do archaeologists know where to dig?

The Warren Mammoth Site is a site in which archaeologists at the University of Wyoming excavated a Columbian mammoth in 2022 and 2023.

This is probably the video I'm most proud of in a while. I hope you enjoy it!

Archaeology, Animal Bones, and how Flint Dibble saved Archaeology | TDIHS #9 | Dr. Flint Dibble

David Ian Howe 2024-10-05 | 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 and emboldens his community. 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.

Archaeology as Human Zoology? | Ethnocynology Ep.1 #archaeology #podcast

David Ian Howe 2024-09-30 | In this premiere episode of Ethnocynology with David Ian Howe, David speaks for 30 minutes straight with almost 0 pauses about his favorite subject—Ethnocynology. As well as the Colombian Exchange.

David begins by defining archaeology and Ethnocynology, and what they mean to him. Which then leads him to discussing what led him to studying the subject in general. Which he breaks into three parts:

1) Taking an intro to anthropology course

2) A history documentary called “Mankind”

3) A zooarchaeology class and a documentary about the flight distance hypothesis

He then rants about species, speciation, and how naming things can be problematic. This episode will be continued and clarified in episode 2.

Dogs, Archaeology, and how I created Ethnocynology (Part 2) | Ethnocynology with David Ian Howe #2

David Ian Howe 2024-09-30 | In part 2 of these premiere episodes of Ethnocynology with David Ian Howe, David speaks for another 30 minutes straight (with maybe 3 pauses) about his favorite subject—Ethnocynology.

David begins by recapping what he talked about last time; how he studied archaeology, and what led him to studying dogs.

He then starts this episode off with how he grew up with an aunt who is a veterinarian and how he always had a stream of dogs in and out of the house.

He then talks about his mentors and predecessors Dr. Brian Cummings who coined the neologism “ethnocynology,” and Dr. Angela Perri, who is the leading researcher in dog genetics.

David then talks about meeting Dr. Perri in Italy at a conference, and how he bombed his opening performance at the conference.

David then continues to discuss how he created the Ethnocynology Instagram, and how it was an outlet to teach the things he had learned in grad school.

TDIHS #8 | Jonny Devaney | Dogs, Archaeology, History, Skits, YouTube Shorts, and more Dogs.

David Ian Howe 2024-09-14 | In this episode of the David Ian Howe Show, I interview my new friend Jonny Devaney (@jauncydev). Jonny is known for his viral skits about dogs, dog breeds, and him dressing up as God (making dogs).

My dad actually first showed me Jonny's videos, and my Instagram followers send me them constantly. One day I noticed he followed me on IG, so I shot him a message and then bam, now we are chatting on the pod.

Didn't really have a plan for this one...just wanted to get to know another funny dude on the internet, and had a lot of fun doing it.

Dr. Sean Jackewicz is a Lieutenant in the US Navy and currently works as a physician at Walter Reed in Washington D.C.

As you'll hear in this episode, Sean had a very unorthodox way of getting into the world of medicine and went to several schools to become a Physician, where he also won awards for his scientific research. He also joined the US Navy and currently hold the rank of Lieutenant O3.

We talk about his passion for science, his upbringing, living in Savannah, and what led him to his current job.

We also discuss among many other things....cloning mammoths, de-extinction, space travel, CRISPR, and medicine in space.

I will have Sean on again to discuss the cloning of dogs!

Anthropology of Dogs, and 2 other Courses

David Ian Howe 2024-08-07 | COURSE DETAILS ⬇️

✉️: David@davidianhowe.com

As I said, nothing is set in stone yet I just want to see how much interest there is and will go from there.

But I would host a grad style seminar via zoom , for 3 hours, 1 night a week over the course of 6 weeks. I will lecture for a bit, but the majority of the class would be discussing the assigned readings as a group.

If you’re interested, shoot me an email with a little bit of info as to what you would like to , which courses you would be interested in. In order for everybody to meet at the same time, it might have to just be a US/Canada class for now.

I would also like to teach a social media and photos/video editing course but that would be down the line.

STEFAN MILO RETURNS
Just kidding. This is his first appearance eon my solo show, but Stefan has been on A Life in Ruins over 5 times.

If you don’t already know, Stefan is a YouTuber, author, and overall awesome bloke. He has a YouTube page dedicated to making well-researched and really well-produced archaeology and anthropology videos.

I met Stefan almost 5 years ago now through our artist, Ettore Mazza, and we’ve been friends ever since.

We eventually shoot the breeze about the Bronze Age, Homo erectus, and get into modern genetic science. But mainly, I ask Stefan about his current success where he started. We talk about his childhood in the UK, his undergrad at Sheffield, and then his time abroad in Europe.

We then discuss how he came to the US, Portland, and his time working IT at a credit union and how that led to YouTube.

We talk about a lot more, but if you’re a fan of Stefan, I recommend listening to the whole episode because we cover a lot!

TDIHS #5 | Lindsay Nikole | Zoology, Archaeology, and the realities of Content Creation

David Ian Howe 2024-05-01 | Check the time codes for the fun parts and stories!

EP #5
I really enjoyed my conversation with Lindsay Nikole (recorded in November), who is a zoologist, author, and TikTok star. Lindsay makes really fun and entertaining videos on the topics of zoology, paleontology, and animal behavior.

Lindsay appeared on an episode of a Life in Ruins where she sat down with Connor, Carlton and I to talk about her life and career. But today she sits down with me for a 2.5 hour deep dive into many topics.

What I really like is that we discuss the idiosyncrasies of being a content creator and how to navigate such a new and exciting (but challenging) field. We also discuss the pressures of wanting to be as accurate as possible, but what to do when we make mistakes and how to handle negative comments. Lindsay and I then talk about her management and talent agency and what we would both like to do with our social media success. I definitely go on several rants about archaeology and prehistory which I think you all might enjoy as well .

And then, as we wrap up, I ask Lindsay some rapid fire questions about zoology (which of course devolves into more fun conversation). If you’ve watched Lindsay’s videos, watched mine, or just genuinely wonder what the day-to-day is like for people like us, I think you’ll really enjoy this episode. It was fun to realize throughout the episode that we are very similar people and I am glad to call her a friend. Felt like I was talking to someone I’ve known for a long time.

•••
Science communication is difficult and can often be very dense or dry. But it doesn’t have to be.
I encourage everyone to get creative and truly find joy in expressing the science that means so much to them.
This week was a moment in modern archaeology, and I’m happy to be a part of the new generation of scientists who use our modern media technology for the better to teach about our shared human heritage
•••
I made this for a project with Creators on the Edge a while back called “ how are other species different from us?” and I’m very proud of it. I hope you enjoy it too.
Please share it with anybody you know who loves dogs.

TDIHS #4 | Gaius Flavius | Thinking about the Roman Empire (and Sweden) with Artur Hulu

David Ian Howe 2024-02-23 | How often do you think about the Roman Empire?

In this episode, I sit down with historic reenactor and influencer, Artur Hulu. Artur recently blew up on social media thanks to his handmade centurion costumes, passion for reenactment, and his absolutely superb meme game.

I ask Arthur about his current success and then dive into his Swedish roots and his role in local government in his small town. We then discuss the nuances of Swedish culture, politics, and how he balances his life as a reenactor and influencer.

Arthur and I then dive into what it’s like to be an influencer in today’s cultural climate, and how he navigates that. We also discuss the impact Rome and Italy have had on western and world history.

Then of course we dive into Rome, where I ask him some rapid-fire questions about Rome including: who’s your favorite emperor? Favorite Roman Movie? Have you ever performed testudo? What weapon would you use as a gladiator? What caused the fall of the empire? And more.

You can follow Artur on his Instagram account instagram.com/gaiusflavius
And his YouTube youtube.com/@gaiusflaviusvideos

Surviving in the woods...but its a video game | Archaeology, Bushcraft, Dog Science.

David Ian Howe 2023-11-26 | I look at the world zoologically. Many might argue that humans are above zoology, but I think it’s a disservice to say we are not.

As a kid I was fascinated by taxonomy; how it identifies, how it classifies, and how it makes biotic life make sense evolutionarily. Categorizing things helps me file information away in my head, and for some reason really calms me down. I don’t get it…so I don’t expect you to.

However I genuinely believe that my lifelong interest in taxonomy is without a doubt thanks to 31 years of playing Pokemon. Speaking of, I was a kid who loved Zelda and still loves Zelda to this day. I love the adventure one experiences playing a Zelda game. But what I love more about Zelda is the appreciation for nature, exploration, and deep antiquity the developers code into the games.

So when I go out in the woods for bushcraft, camping, or just hiking, I always think of myself as playing Zelda. But at the same time, I now think about everything through a scientific lens and get to see myself as a primate existing in an environment that is far more complex than myself. When I combined those ways of thinking with my love of martial arts, I got the idea for this video.

I worked really hard at this video for several months. I really don’t know what exactly to call it, but I guess just imagine you’re an extraterrestrial watching a Bill Nye type show about Homo sapiens, or you’re playing a game like Zelda about Earth. Interpret it however you want because I don’t know, it just pleases me to watch it and the sounds make my brain hurt less.

I would love to direct and produce my own films and shows one day, so let this be an example of something I would like to do. Let me know what you think.

Disclaimers: 1) No animals were harmed 2) don’t attempt this kind of stuff alone unless you have experience 3) Moose scare me, and Elko is not my dog so I was extra cautious (hence the pew pew) 4) I had the fungi identified by several people; I wouldn’t suggest eating a mushroom without knowing a 1000% percent what it is.
