Vincent got his PhD at the University of Michigan where he studied under Milford Wolpoff, who is also the teacher of Dr. Jim Ahern, Connor and David‘s biological anthropology teacher.
Connor and David chat with Vincent about his Italian ancestry, and how that formulated his interest in culture and anthropology, and they later get into his early educational career in anthropology
Like most episodes with PhD‘s, the conversation gets heavy discussing the quagmire that is academia and whether it is right for some people or not.
