Torn between colleges shouldn't force you to take classes irrelevant to your degree as long as you have to pay for it, and also happy I have an excuse to take classes I don't need for my field because the only reason I'm not taking a million classes for everything I'm vaguely interested in is that it costs money

#i got to take bioanthropology for one of my social sciences and i loved it so much i considered minoring in it #and i also get to take psychology and history and philosophy #i think if i'm ever a rich old person i might do one of those senior programs some schools have where you just take classes for enrichment

The world’s first horse riders

Newswise — The researchers discovered evidence of horse riding by studying the remains of human skeletons found in burial mounds called kurgans, which were between 4500-5000 years old. The earthen burial mounds belonged to the Yamnaya culture. The Yamnayans had migrated from the Pontic-Caspian steppes to find greener pastures in today´s countries of Romania and Bulgaria up to Hungary and…

"Religion demands perfect evidence from science, but no evidence from itself."

Believers demand atheists have degrees in cosmology, astrophysics, evolutionary biology, paleontology, bioanthropology, abiogenesis, particle physics and every other natural science, or else their non-belief is invalid.

On the other hand, to join their religion, you don't even have to have read their storybook, much less quote anything that's actually in it.

Good luck on your 2nd year of your master's program 💕

Thank you 🩷🩷

Im actually much more excited for thisbyear because they changed the program and since I didn't finish some classes I get to take the newer ones which means no more anthropology of politics and more bioanthropology classes :D

#letter opened #like!!! cognitive processes of non human primates and ostoarcheology classes!!!

for the assumptions game!!! i have no idea why but you give me stem major vibes, or english major because your writing knocks it out of the park every timeeee

Oh my god I could NEVER be a stem major!! I'm so bad at math you guys have no earthly idea...

I'm actually a double major in history and anthropology! Lots of writing in those fields but it's much less fun than what I write here I can tell you that much. Maybe I give off stem vibes cause I sometimes talk about bioanthropology tho?

so i'm an anthropology student, and one of my friends told me a headcanon yesterday about togruta having skeletal anatomy that's more cartilage than bone to account for the agility and flexibility of having been hunters and it got me thinking about applying ideas from bioanthropology to kind of fine-tune that headcanon and it was really fun

so i wanted to ask if yall would be interested if i were to make some posts/answer some asks where i throw anthropology at star wars? like i also want to think about things like twi'lek and togruta cultural expressions of gender and how lekku are involved in that, or the archaeological records of varying planets and just generally how different populations within the galaxy approach archaeology and material culture and preservation, and also very broadly i'm interested in all of the languages (especially mirialan) so if people asked me questions about those sorts of things i'd rlly enjoy answering them

13, 15 and 20 for the ask thing! :D

13. What’s your ideal summer aesthetic?

It's like 70F outside, I'm in the yard with my friends and family and we have a sprinkler set up and the kids (my siblings and their friends, not my kids) are running through it and having fun shoving each other in the mud and we're eating fruity popsicles and there's not a worry in the world.

15. Talk about something exciting or good that happened to you this year.

I got my internship set up so I can actually graduate on time!!!! I'm also attending this bioanthropology convention next weekend which is super exciting!!!! I also got back into reading and started going out more since I got a new roommate! Many exciting things happened!

20. What’s the sweetest thing someone has done for you?

This is gonna sound weird but when my current roommate told me I didn't have to clean up her messes in the kitchen and didn't have to worry about her being mad about me not doing them because we are both Adults who know how to take care of ourselves. I still do the dishes for her sometimes but now it doesn't feel like an obligation and more like something I do bc I care for her and know she's been going through some stuff so the least I can do is wash some dishes for her. It means a lot more to me than it should but japsdoifad yeah

Ask game

#message in a bottle #ni-ien #the way i had to do dishes every day for 16 weeks last spring. personal hell

Bestie that's archaeology.........

Bestie, it's actually bioanthropology. Archaeology is a subfield of anthropology, and archaeologists study primarily non-hominin material remains.

Edit: I don't mean to be rude, but I do genuinely know what I'm talking about. The difference between archaeology and anthropology is a common misconception people have though, so don't worry about it. Archaeology is a type of anthropology (it wasn't always in the past, but it is considered so now).

#this is my major i know what I'm talking about

my bioanthropology class makes me think that the biggest defining trait unique to humans is not just our capacity/desire to learn but to teach too!

David Attenborough by Mª Isabel Sánchez Vegara. Illustrated by Mikyo Noh.

Age Recommendation: Early Primary Topic/ Theme: Education, Animals, biographic. Setting: Global Series: Little People, Big Dreams

Rating: 5/5

This book is adorable. Given Attenborough's lifelong work with animals, it makes some sense that every page contains animals. From the first to the last, different animals and always fitting the moment. The white cockatoo (?) at Attenborough's graduation from university feels particularly apt, that idea of flight or the removal of a limit. The Queen's corgi makes an appearance at his knighthood, in a crown no less. Look all the animals are just super cute and so varied. One of the things that I was entirely unaware of before this was exactly how many things were named after David Attenborough, there is a double-page dedicated to that. While many of them are as expected fauna, there is flora (including a carnivorous plant). And the RRS Sir David Attenborough a British research vessel based in the Antarctic. I adored the illustrations even if Attenborough doesn't appear to age much in them. There is just so much variation in the settings and colour. Mikyo Noh has done so well there.

One of the more interesting facts about Attenborough is his family. All his family were educated, his mother was a linguist I think that might have influenced a young David. David Attenborough speaks the language of people (though not is the way Susan Attenborough did), the need to make see to make them care that is a language of its own. Linguistics and Anthropology are linked as studies or at least can be. I found the biography section that is included as always at the end of the book so very useful, most I just find are rehashing. But Sir David Attenborough has lived such a long life that this section gave information that couldn't be included. Unlike some of the subjects of books in the series where there is a lot of darkness in their lives, David Attenborough seems to have been content in a life of advocacy and education. Though the book does not mention his family. His marriage to wife Jane Elizabeth Ebsworth Oriel was only ended in 1997 by her death after 47 years. Though little is known about her. Their children are Robert and Susan. Robert is a senior lecturer in bioanthropology so seemingly the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Susan is a former headmistress. Sourced from Wikipedia but there really isn't much on Jane at all it is a fairly common question online.
