    This reminds me of this story of a hairdresser who called bullshit on the anthropologist explanations of ancient roman hair styles and became an expert of that.

      anthropologist explanations

      My favorite anthropology thing is when they dig up a statue with wide hips and large breasts and refer to it as something related to a “cult of fertility”. I guess that sounds a lot better than “porn”.

      I wish the video in this article had better shots of people actually wearing the hairstyles, compared with the statues.
