Introduction to Anthropology

[@KarldorisLambley]

i found this bloke's video essays this morning. since then i've watched about 8 hours worth, and achieved nothing else all day. and i consider the day well spent. he seems to cover nearly all my interests. astronomy, biology, latin even!. if he had ones on Greek and electronics too he would cover everything i care about.

Ego, that is what I think makes us unique. Other creatures show intelligence and even emotion, but ego is a human trait.

[@squirrel_slapper]

Ah, I see you've never met a house cat.

[@OmegafrazGaming]

@@squirrel_slapper that's not actually ego

[@OmegafrazGaming]

@squirrel_slapper cats have territorial instinct. Instinct and ego are not the same thing. They may look or act proud or dignified but in truth this is a learned characteristic because they can get something from acting a certain way. It why cats act like kittens around humans because they learned that doing so gets rewarded.

[@OmegafrazGaming]

@squirrel_slapper ego is rooted in pride, and cats have wide scope of emotions. Pride is not an emotion that they have a capacity for

[@NcxX-c8f]

I would argue that it’s language capacity: other animals have the ability to communicate, but not to the same degree as us

Medical or Health Anthropology?

[@TheOtherMwalimu]

Medical Anthropology. It is a sub-field of Sociocultural Anthropology. I was a university Instructional Assistant in Medical Anthropology.

@@TheOtherMwalimuare you talking about anthropology of medicine or medicinal anthropology?

anthropology is my second favorite field of science behind paleontology and i’m so glad you’re delving into it. now just for you to do paleontology😉

[@OmegafrazGaming]

I like all kinds of science and history and theology too, not big on the numbers part of math and physics buy I do like to learn about astronomy but with physics you don't always need to understand the longhand formulas to understand the end result. I pretty much read textbooks and watch documentaries for fun 😅 but I've got high functioning autism so in general, I'm a sponge for information. It's people I don't always understand.

[@marcioamaral7511]

​@@OmegafrazGaming If you really,REALLY want to understand Math/Physics Those "formulas" are what you'll want to focus on outside of the concepts...if you've got time,learn them.

[@OmegafrazGaming]

@marcioamaral7511 math and physics are boring imo and you don't need to understand the inner working of a car to know how to drive a car as they say my only interest in math or physics lies in the bare minimum needed to understand astronomy. I don't need to know the math because there are other people to do it foe me. Again not that dissimilar from a car needing repaired and going to a mechanic.

[@OmegafrazGaming]

@marcioamaral7511 moreover history, mythology, theology, and philosophy, are my real strengths not science or math while I have a lot of knowledge on science I have limited math ability. And my science knowledge pales in comparison to my knowledge in the other category. In particular I'm interested on Asian and European history and mythos I know some American history an mythos but I find the history of the others to be alot more rich and interesting. You only need to look at their architecture and culture and compare it to ours and ours seems so plain by comparison.

Hi… theory to be explored.. by people who know things: Has anyone ever thought to follow a certain group of people like say The UK in Exploring new places and how they procreated with locals… cuz it would make sense if they impregnated a nation like india under the Policy what stays in india .. is not semen… cuz semen grow up and we might then see generations later a migration to the UK like children going back to the mother land “flock’king” style.. Which makes sense that we would first see India under UK rule and now we see Children of India going to UK. And how interesting for certain geoups like that to do a DNA assesment. My Native history goes back12 generations ago and So blood wouldnt show up as a type… but tracking certainly helped me to identify .. specifically people in the family others were ashamed of or coverex up “mixed breeding”.. so it made me wondef if timeline wise we could see a uk group impregnante india.. and then india. Migration.. It would make sense for 1/2 children to look dark but have have desire for higher level learning or maybe skin that naturally likes colder tempetures .. just a thought .. Might also explain Lighter colors of African people and maybe correlations .. and why less generational trauma might be do to enviornment/or generational Interaction. For instancs like megan markle having a white father might give her less generational trauma until Its placed into situations where she was asked to portray more Uk Type side that challenged the freedom of an african women spirit which then fought back .. And that would make so much senwe given harry has mother wound.. and flocked to that mother freedom spirit.. strong and enduring like Megans mom.. was very nurturing .. so becaysw Meg didnt have a mother wound. She could stand up to the mother land (Uk) similarly becauwe Harry had Been given Strength to be a free spirit from his mom.. he was Seeking healing in Megans mom like William sought in kates parents. Kates parents and Megs mom are Consider “warm” people .. theres an air about them thats naturallt maternal and paternal you can sense from miles away no matter Who spins a tale.. I feel like Meg is just as warm but because Of generational trauma with America’ (edward and Wallace) there was Projection of the “american” spirit.. which outsideds lookinh in might see as spoiled child or Selfish.. and that impacts perceptions due to the way america (daughter born of Uk) Rejected the mothrr land.. by giving meg the American projection rather. Then the Rejection of Submission to the mother land.. she bad conflict internally between mother land africa (generational trauma) regarding ensslavement or submission to the master.. that was the collision .. not American pride…. Uk had her until it was Submitt or be punished. (Whether conscious or unconcious that is two spirits clashing like titans over control over ones self or being controled. Her undersline or bottom line no mattee the cost was freedom. Which seems like Harrys bottom line as well. Thus when boundaries were crossed.. lines were drawn . The projection was American spirit.. but america had the same issue over being controlled.. its why the undeininh boundary was Freedom or nothing.. but its not based in selfish .. its based in Freedom to choose. Once obtaining “independence” very similar rules are established but in evolvment of Gaining freedom from opression. Something Harry and Meg africa and india experienced The “threat” of rejection for demanding autonomy is comical .. because UK wants autonomy.. Thus why it keeps its self protected by making allies .. The hypocrisy is what gets people.. to Have what you have but not give what you seek to protect. Where does the line stop then? (( im doing me very best not to judge so much as provide observation .. its personal experience in hypocrisy helping me.. im simply giving what i see as best as i can to help clear the confusion of negative and positive spins to Understanding history in the lense of dominant and sub’mission.. Dominion’ (my domin’o or versus Sub’ (under the see of another. Uk and the queen dont want doninion over them… So they require submission.. megan, India africa dont want dominion their value is freedom from o’pression from experience.. Something “bugs” them.. its a monarch (thats a butterfly) Ironically thats the butterfly effect.. That changed the see/sea by “wing’gin” it ..

Is there such a thing like sexual antrhopology? After all sex is the primal reasons of reproduction, therefore interfering with ethical spreading and on and on .

[@SweetMamaG]

Anthropology was always very interesting to me. I often wish i went to college for science I'd love to do EEGs, MRIs, etc on people from the worst inner cities in America vs. Suburbs vs. Farmland. Im cyrus how our brain chemistry changes with our environments. I'd also like to compare people from San Francisco/Seattle/Portland to people from say Biloxi, Tuskegee, and alpharetta or something. Like bible belt vs. Deep blue cities. I trulyv think that your environment will effect your brain in certain ways. Political anthropology I suppose?

[@Aquamayne100]

that sounds interesting, are there any studies on this?

[@sajanaryal6932]

It would be interesting if you were to do a series on Buddhist philosophy. I have seen a lot of consistency of Buddha's teachings with Science.

I am sure that you have heard of a channel called Divergent. This guy needs to be debated and brought back down to the globe earth ground. He only shows pictures which anyone can do to make like they are experts. I asked him if he was interested in a debate with you. Of course your choice. Should be an easy victim for you, probably less than 10 minutes. Maybe you can check out one of his videos and see if he is worth your time.

Anthropology: Being a Furry

[@chopsyoutube]

You have as many hair follicles on your body as a chimpanzee does, furry.

[@dr.luciddreamster9323]

Discovering color blindness, was a paradigmatic change. Color was considered outside the mind. Is this correct? Both psychology and anthropology became formalized. How the individual and societies construct reality. My intro was.... I read a book called M. An anthropological evaluation of humans from the perspective of a gorilla. He listed human myths. Followed by Pre Columbian anthropology. Through the fiction of Carlos Castaneda. A UCLA anthropology student.😂😂😂

[@RedfernInkanina]

Odd choice of thumbnail that only further perpetuates the misconception that anthropology centers solely around the study of non-Western cultures and people/reinforces harmful colonialist and imperialist assumptions.

i respect u so much ..but we didn't come from animals , it true that humans share a common ancestry with other animals, particularly primates. Our biological and genetic similarities with other species provide substantial evidence for our evolutionary connections. but that doesn't mean humans come from animals

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

Um, humans are objectively animals. And primates.

[@Rpgvegan87]

Latin anima means "breath" or "soul," and animalis, the adjective that comes from it, means "having breath or soul."

[@AlbertaGeek]

_"we didn't come from animals , it true that humans share a common ancestry with other animals"_ If we share a common ancestry with other animals, then by definition we come from animals. You do not seem to have thought this through.

[@Lilithotw]

If we share common ancestry with other animals and primates means we came from animals. Do you know how evolution works or did u just not think before u said this?

So, I guess since humans are not animals, we are plants? You sound stupid. Stop being stupid.

[@kookadams85]

So many misander anthropology, it's the study of race which is a numeral basis of 1/3. Humans are categorized as soid, goid & loid. When synopsized by color it's white, black & yellow. Yet there are dolts who think that an ethnic nationality I.e "Mexican" fits into race. It is in no facet a race, it's 'mestizo' meaning a combination of soid & loid (white & yellow) ; the white being of Spaniard origin & the yellow being native-injun which itself is color-labeled as red. Numbers & colors. 💯
