The History of Anthropology & The Road To Anthropology Today | Colonialism, Racism, & Ethnocentrism

[@AliviaBrown]

Did you know I wrote a course on human evolution? 🧬🦍🦧🐒🌱🌳 Check it out HERE: www.socratica.com/courses/human-evolution

[@luisfilipe2023]

I would absolutely love a deeper dive into all the history of anthropology. Especially the “breaking points” and the ideas and contributions of the anthropologists who changed the direction of the field and the practical applications of anthropology both good and bad

[@AliviaBrown]

Breaking points is a wonderful idea, thank you for all these!

[@luisfilipe2023]

Finally the video I’ve been waiting for months! I hope this evolves into a series as 9 minutes is obviously not enough to do justice to more then a century of history

[@AliviaBrown]

Yayy!! I’ve been working on this one for a while and I’m glad it’s finally up! Completely agree, there’s so much more to learn

[@ElTarotdeAndy]

Thanks for this video! Amazing as always. It would be interesting to see a video with the differences between American and British/European anthropology. I see these becoming a new playlist ❤

[@AliviaBrown]

Of course!! And this is a great idea, thank you!!!

[@morganchan2839]

Loved your videos as always. If you could create a series of videos that talk about different Anthropologists, their theories, and how they compare with each other, that would be awesome!

[@AliviaBrown]

I love this idea!!

[@RariaRoyal]

I definitely would love to see more there is so much more to this then one video can convey! :)

[@AliviaBrown]

Aw, yay I’m so glad. Definitely need to look into it more!

[@abhishekposapati9481]

Please do a video on detailed analysis on Anthropologists from Tylor, L H Morgan, Frazer.. Like their earlier life, their perspective, their work, pros and criticism.. It will be lot of fun..

[@AliviaBrown]

Yes!! Just saw your other comment, good idea

[@sahalrahman7242]

Very Good Videos. I watched your all videos and I like them all.One day I will also do something for Anthropology. Best wishes for you

[@Aeolus_ca]

im an anthropologist too I did a dig in denmark last summer!

[@2Sparky2]

Fantastic video! Sounds like anthropology has evolved quite a bit! I wonder how future anthropologist will critique current frameworks.

[@AliviaBrown]

Thank you so much!!! And I often wonder the same thing…

[@pathumanuradha5581]

Definitely dear ,i wanna say if it would possible to say as I ove yu I say I love yu because this is the lesson that I wanted to find . indeed , I have been waiting for this lesson since the day that I subscribed .so finally I got it 👍 and if yu can plz upload some videos about the basic concepts of anthropology like culture and personality.

[@NihilisticJawbreaker]

Yes, please! I would love a dark history of anthropology video to share with my students.

[@AliviaBrown]

Yessss!! Thank you for letting me know!

[@yonasfanta3560]

please do a deep dive in anthropologoy's history

[@kalynnbenoit445]

I was wondering if you ever ended up pursuing anything with UX research/design? I have been following your journey and know that was something you talked about in past videos!

[@AliviaBrown]

Aw this is so sweet, thank you for following up!! And yes I do actually 😊. The company I work for (Socratica) makes educational content/courses for students and I have helped design some of their webpages! More to come but that’s what I’ve done so far :)

[@pathumanuradha5581]

Plz Make more videos about the history of anthropology we want to learn more deeply about it because it's essential.

[@AliviaBrown]

Awesooome

[@CristopherSalinas-z9p]

I love you, I mean your videos.. keep it up :)

[@carrot7911]

i love love love anthropology but i think there’s a big tendency to exotify cultures both through anthropology and more specifically. Id like to hear more about racism and exotification in anthropological fields because unfortunately i still think it pretty prevalent, also about how to avoid it.

[@kristenciccolella6495]

Is there any curriculum or books you can recommend for a 10th grader to study anthropology? My son is very intrested in this field and he is a homeschooler! We have studied archaeology which he absolutely loved but now he wants to go into different parts of anthropology. I am overwhelmed with trying to put together a course for him.

[@ronniesunshine1115]

Thanks so much, Alivia. I didn't expect you to start with Herodotus, but it makes sense. His observations and reports on Persians, Egyptians, Scythians were important beginnings. One could also include traveler's accounts, like Marco Polo, et al., and those of the European "Age of Exploration", and some Christian missionaries who were not simply bent on eradication of heathen ways, but were careful observers and recorders of tribal cultures. I've been reading Charles King's book, "Gods of the Upper Air.", an account of the development of anthropology in America which includes fascinating accounts of Boas, Mead, Benedict, Zora Neale Hurston, etc., and their radical ideas on cultural relativity, race, sex and gender, against the then popular racist ideas of eugenics.

[@AliviaBrown]

This is awesome!! Thank so much for sharing!

[@madihabatool9224]

Kindly make a video also on dark side if anthropology

[@comitcrafter]

Could you make a video on psychedelics and shamanism ??

[@comitcrafter]

I haven't watched the whole video but I feel as though a lot of fields in Academia are hyper focused on diversity inclusivity and equity and it's affecting the quality of education nowadays and trust me I'm all about being sensitive about traumas and shit and understanding the effect colonialism has had on society but ever since going to university I've been really disheartened buy the way anthropology is taught and that goes my other classes as well and not just because of the DEI policies. But over all academia is weird asf and would like to know how you feel about the state of education and competition in university. Obviously this is too much for the comments section butt I would love to talk more about anthro and Academia when you get a chance

[@AliviaBrown]

That’s a really interesting idea!! I’ll absolutely start looking into it

[@comitcrafter]

@@AliviaBrown and suggestion for undergrads with an interest in psychedelics anthropology

[@comitcrafter]

Amazonian cultural conservation. And. Ethnobotany as well ?

[@MRTeamWater]

@@comitcrafter I'm an anthropologist currently working on a project concerning psilocybin use among POC. I can link you to quite a few papers if you'd like

[@luisfilipe2023]

I think that evolutionism as you call it is still very prevalent today. Most people still think history is walking towards a direction and we’ll one day reach the “end of history”. 9/11 2016 and more recently the Ukraine War seemed to have shaken this idea but many people still see Islamic terrorism Trump’s election brexit and Putin’s imperialism as obstacles to progress that will one day be removed in the eternal march to “the end of history” rather then their own historical events which can and have altered the course of history

[@ToxoplasmosisVsRodents]

Us vs them is a common theme in human history and many cultures. In group vs out group is a highly prevalent concept for most of human existence on the planet.

[@AliviaBrown]

This is a great connection, I haven’t thought about this before

[@AliviaBrown]

@@ToxoplasmosisVsRodents so so true
