*this is just about having medical needs that would have meant death without modern medicine, so no ‘I’d probably die from not being able to distinguish the blur as a lion’ we have a healthy caveman squad who cares for each other, we just also dont have, yknow, penicilin. etcetera.
pls reblog for sample size etc
follow for more occasional useless polls :)

Listen if the study of ancient humans doesn’t make you at least a little bit emotional idk what to say.
I started crying today at the museum because they had reconstructed the shoes of Otzi the iceman.
Either he or someone he knew who cared about him made these shoes out of grass and bear skin and twine and he was wearing them when he died over five thousand years ago.
And a Czech researcher and his students did reconstructions of these shoes and wore them to the same place where he died to test them out and they were like yep! These shoes are really cozy and comfy and didn’t give us blisters while hiking!
Is that not just the coolest shit ever????
#I couldn't be a paleontologist or anthropologist bc I would just be crying all the time#humans#otzi#archaeology#history#emily talks#shoes#now with alt text!

stealing this screenshot from a post correcting people about what liminal spaces are, because I want to say something kind of unrelated and don’t want to bother the op - it’s funny this wiki article identifies airports as one of these non-places, and one of the “criteria” for a non-place is somewhere where you are able to remain anonymous, because (at least in north america, I can’t speak globally), one of the primary terrors of airports is its ability to render you a known quantity at basically any time, to bring you into public attention specifically by cops and security people identifying who you are. Airport security, bag inspections, police, surveillance cameras, etc do this security theatre routine at airports in a way that is more intense than other public spaces. Like I just don’t think this state of remaining anonymous in the airport applies to muslims or other religious and racial minorities the state deems to be a “high risk population” vis a vis border security, I think if you want to make the argument that these places allow anonymity, a fundamental part of this analysis has to include the fact that this anonymity is premised on visiting state violence, surveillance, and coercion on largely non-white and religious minorities, particularly and especially muslims, to “protect” and secure this space of (largely white) public anonymity

Something interesting about the Alien Stage supplementary material is that the humans don’t know what kissing actually is, but it’s in the human characters’ instinct to show love through physical touch.
Luka is shown sucking on Hyuna’s forehead, and is implied to do this somewhat regularly. And, though many English translations use the word “kiss”, what Ivan says actually translates to “lips to lips”. That’s why he says he wants to do it because “everyone is doing it” — it’s not an established norm. But it feels ‘right’ or ‘natural’ to him, when he sees other humans kissing, to want to do it with Till.

you want a new kind of guy, fine, i raise you: the lady i was briefly roommates with in college who once smoked a blunt at a party and then spent an hour confessing earnestly to me that she genuinely preferred reading detailed episode recaps over actually watching the tv show in question
#she sounded so remorseful & i just stood staring like an anthropologist watching their phd thesis spontaneously manifest before their eyes#apparently she would watch the pilot episode to get a feel for the characters#and then just read a bunch of recaps & episode reviews instead of watching future episodes. what fresh steaming hell#this conversation took place like a year and a half after we were roommates btw. i had seen her maybe twice in that time period#i thought she was a standard frat girl but then 18 months later she appears in the wild grass to reveal unhinged character background to me#and i'm just standing there nodding feeling like i missed a weird opportunity i did not want or ask for#honestly thought i was the weirdest person in that apartment situation but now i'm wondering what our other 2 roommates were hiding#not my strangest college experience at ALL but like. definitely top 20#this wasn't the same person as Aquarium Girl btw but oddly enough they were roommates actually#(not at the same time that Recaps Lady and i were roommates but at different intervals idk)#anyway i probably should have interviewed at more than one apartment before taking over a sublease but summer sess is a weird time u know#oh and this happened in Hong Kong btw

playing fallout new vegas and having to listen to caesar complaining about travelling and getting to study the languages of various communities living in the wasteland and calling it a waste of time while irl the humanities are constantly disregarded and getting a higher education and opportunities to study anthropology hands-on costs tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars and requires so many connections and he was just getting that FOR FREE from the followers but that wasnt cool enough for him so he decided to use the education he was given to start his little fascist larper group and enslave people
#the followers are so fucking cool man#the way they just take in jerry the punk without needing any money or like references or anything. and can make him an archival assistant#like aside from being anarchists and stuff the way they just openly and freely share as much of their knowledge theyve preserved#thats what makes them so cool to me#considering that in todays world education like that is so fucking expensive#and knowledge is only appreciated when its seen as 'useful' and exploitable like stem studies#i wanna be an anthropologist man#fnv#followers of the apocalypse#fallout new vegas#fallout#caesar fnv#caesar's legion#talking

Religion and culture and their intersections always face the same savior attitudes, where outsiders who have no experience with those communities assume that the people in them are dumb savages who need to be saved from their own ignorance. The idea that we could not only be aware of issues in our communities but actually talking about them and trying to solve them just does not occur to people who want to play the role of the intelligent and rational heroes.
#this is partially because of that fucking anthropologist#but it's a constant issue in pretty much every facet of interacting with another culture#and there's definitely a racial aspect to it but i don't even want to make it about that because xenophobia is also a huge problem

"The myth that female reproductive capabilities somehow render them incapable of gathering any food products beyond those that cannot run away does more than just underestimate Paleolithic women. It feeds into narratives that the contemporary social roles of women and men are inherent and define our evolution. Our Paleolithic ancestors lived in a world where everyone in the band pulled their own weight, performing multiple tasks. It was not a utopia, but it was not a patriarchy."
#science#Anthropology#archaeology#gender#social issues#patriarchy#feminism#this was SO interesting!!!!#from the factory they dropped that estrogen is heaps older than testosterone#to pointing out that earlier anthropologists applied their own patriarchal bias#the archaeology is speaking for itself and it says gender equality is winning

I'm already semi-overwhelmed by my research outline (only 7k words to go) and my brain is like...
'Towards a Decolonisation of Fantasy: Deconstructing Cultural Essentialism in The Elder Scrolls'
...I am NOT writing that. Or am I...I mean I am literally at my laptop. ~Tal
#Rogue anthropologist cannot be stopped#The RAI will laugh at me but I will stay strong#I plan on publishing so many useless papers in the future
