A bit disappointing how surface level this all was. I wanted to learn something new from this. It seemed as though it had been simplified/generalized to cater to a wider audience.
Fair, this was written more for a general audience. Did you see the link to Schreyer's Annual Review of Anthropology article at the end? If not, here's a link to Schreyer's review article. That should get you to a non-paywalled version. Audience for that one is other academics/anthropologists/linguists, so might be more of what you're looking for.
Hello, OP here -- got an OK from the mods to post this. I'm the audience editor with Knowable Magazine, which published this Q&A with linguistic anthropologist Christine Schreyer.
FYI, if you want to read even more about her work, we link to an academic review article that she wrote for the Annual Review of Anthropology at the end (we share a publisher with that journal). If you click through us, you should be able to access a no-paywall version of the review.
Hope you find this interesting!

Hello! This is Katie with Knowable Magazine, the publisher of this article (mods said it was okay to post). Just wanted to say thanks for reading, and glad you find it interesting.
FYI -- if you go to the bottom of the article, we link to an academic review article co-authored by Bowern and published in the Annual Review of Linguistics. We share a publisher with the journal (Annual Reviews) and if you click through from us, you'll get to a free version of the review article (usually paywalled). Just want to flag, in case you want to read a "deeper dive" than our Q&A.

Episode summary:
Physicists were mostly skeptical back when the idea of them emerged a century ago from Einstein’s work. This podcast episode tells the story of how the evidence evolved from circumstantial to conclusive.

What are the limits to what’s knowable — and how does our thinking about big questions in science and technology evolve over time? Take an audio journey with Knowable Magazine from Annual Reviews as we explore puzzles as diverse as the existence of black holes and how to build an artificial heart — with plenty of surprises along the way.
