Unpacking the ‘explorer’ narrative and its impacts on African palaeoanthropology by Rebecca R. Ackermann, Keneiloe Molopyane, Sheela Athreya

“…We also expand on how these outdated concepts persist in determining which scientific approaches and outcomes are valued and which are not, which in turn has perpetuated extractive approaches to palaeoanthropology and the marginalisation of Indigenous scientists. This is especially notable in fieldwork practices which, to this day, embody the explorer myth’s deeply problematic colonial ideals of Western, masculine moral and cultural superiority. …”
