Beschreibung
Recent failures to replicate famous claims in medicine and the behavioral sciences have lead to a "replication crisis" in the sciences. Anthropology is not immune, but fails more often at the basic level of repeatability: Often it is not clear what done in the first place. For quantitative anthropology to be trustworthy, it needs to become more professional and transparent. But the nature of anthropological research means we cannot just copy approaches from other disciplines. I will outline the problems and solutions for making quantitative anthropology more reliable, responsible and rewarding. (Speaker's abstract)
Speaker: Richard McElreath (MPI for Evolutionary Anthropology)
