Cheers to the departure of 2022, an amazing year… with prospects for an even more impressive year in 2023. Punting in Cambridge with @monica.yanda and me reclining in a lounge in London, both photos taken earlier in the summer. #punting #cambridge #london #robertspengler #archaeology #academia #toastingthenewyear #to2023

2022 has been an interesting year for the archaeological sciences, the amazing Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History has officially been dissolved and rebuilt into the astonishing Max Planck Institute for Geoanthroplogy @mpi_gea housing one of the greatest archaeological research facilities and think-tanks in the world, teaming up with the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, the research possibilities for 2023 are limitless. The photos are of the plaques for both institutions and their respective Max Planck busts. #maxplanck #maxplanckinstitute #archaeology #robertspengler #fruitfromthesands #domesticationandanthropogenicevolution #archaeologicalresearch

I love seeing archaeobotany on display in museums, especially small museums, like this one at the Convento da Orden do Carmo #ourladyofmountcarmel in #Lisbon showing two vials, one with compact bread wheat and one with faba beans, all from a #calcolithic site near the old city… in contrast to the #fababeans served with our #aperolspritz and beer, also in Lisbon this past summer. #archaeobotany #paleoethnobotany #robertspengler #fruitfromthesands #fruitsofthesilkroad #beans #legumes #archaeology #archaeologylife

Moving into the New Year, the snow of the 2022 blizzard is almost all melted, but what a fascinating experience. Also, who makes a better snow angel, my lovely wife @monica.yanda or the bald eagle that dove into the snow after a mouse? #baldeagle #blizzard2022 #lancasterny #robertspengler #winterstorm #shovelingsnow

Growing wild relatives of those familiar legumes in your kitchen, starting with wild grass peas expressing explosive dehiscence, then wild vetch and wild cickpeas, if you are interested in knowing more about their domestication, @maddlesthegreat and I have published a fascinating article in the latest issue of Annual Plant Reviews: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/9781119312994.apr0795?utm_sq=grq7sdtfar #domestication #legumes #peas #chickpeas #robertspengler

I guess I have been traveling a long time - and apparently getting called back to London rather regularly for conferences: 2009; 2016; 2018; and 2021. #whatalife #livingthedream #london #thamesriver 📸@monica.yanda #robertspengler #fruitfromthesands

This amazing woman has been putting up with me for years and she is always there when I need a friend. Happy birthday, my love. #monicayanda #robertspengler #dubai @monica.yanda

He may have upset a few social scientists over the nearly century of research that he conducted, but he did lay the foundations for evolutionary ecology and the concept of gene-culture coevolution. EO Wilson has just passed away at 92 - if you have not read Consilience, I highly recommend it. This also may be a good place to shamelessly suggest you read my Critical Review of Niche Construction Theory article from last year, as I basically state in there that much of what has come to be called NCT originated with ideas formulated by Wilson and his colleagues. #eowilson #evolutionarybiology #evolutionaryecology #evolution #ecology #geneculturecoevolution
