Woke activists are calling for anthropologists to stop classifying human remains as “male” or “female” as well as by racial ancestry.

Archeologists and anthropologists, including those who specialize in criminal forensics, frequently use information about human remains, such as the size and shape of the bones, to determine the gender or race of the deceased individual.
