CONTACT:William Carruthers
DESCRIPTION:Our Michaelmas reading group develops from Miquel’s interest
  in the ‘Orce man’ controversy that arose over a cranial fragment disc
 overed in 1982 in Orce\, Granada that initially appeared to be from a homi
 nid but was later attributed to a donkey’s remains. In this session\, Mi
 quel will trace how paleoanthropological knowledge is “constructed” by
  different actors (academic experts\, politicians\, journalists) in excava
 tion sites\, laboratories\, conferences and the modern media. Seeking a be
 tter understanding of the strategies used by scientists in this process\, 
 we will discuss how it is possible to analyse and begin to frame the const
 ruction of paleoanthropology as a scientific discipline at the end of the 
 twentieth century.
