How A Few ‘Renegade’ Thinkers Helped Usher In A New Era Of Anthropology:
Americans are talking a lot about race these days and whether immigrants from certain regions should be welcomed into the country. Charles King, writes about a time a little more than 100 years ago when he says educated people in the U.S. believed it was established science that there is a natural hierarchy of cultures, with Western civilization at the top, and that people’s abilities and potential were defined by their race and gender.
His new work chronicles the work of a group of trailblazing anthropologists who undermined those ideas in the first half of the 20th century. They were students of German American professor Franz Boas. And some, particularly Margaret Mead, became widely read authors. Their work studying cultures around the world challenged fixed ideas about race and nationality and changed the way many Americans saw themselves and others.
What Climate Change Means for Food Production:
Recently, the UN released a report warning of the long term effects of climate change on our food supply.
And there are growing concerns that climate change will make food insecurity an even bigger problem in parts of the world like Central America.

What Machine Learning Teaches Us about CEO Leadership Style:
CEOs are communicators. Studies show that CEOs spend 85 percent of their time in communication-related activities, including speeches, meetings, and phone calls with people both inside and outside the firm. Now, new research using machine learning is attempting a deep dive into the words and facial expressions of chief executives to see if leadership style can be correlated with a firm’s performance. The researchers believe their work could open new directions in big data analysis, combining image and textual analysis to create a more complete picture of how a chief executive influences firm performance.
