Hey Alivia, Im Brazilian who studies culture and communication in Lisbon PT and ur channel is giving me great perspective about anthropology... thank u so much for ur work and inspiration <3

great explanation...thank you

I'm really interested in studying anthropology in the future but I'm not sure if I completely believe in the human evolution as a Christian. Would that make it harder for me to study anthropology?

I just read a book called “The Plague” by the existential philosopher and Nobel prize winning author, Albert Camus, published in 1947. I’d never heard of medical anthropology until I started looking at you tube videos analyzing the book. Thank you for substantially increasing my knowledge of anthropology in general. BTW, I highly recommend the book, whether you’re a medical anthropologist or just a human that has lived through the most recent “plague” of the last few years.

My professor don’t have lab and what can I do.

What textbook you read for anthropology in uni?

I’m glad I watched this 👏

I am from a latinamerican country where antropology is just developing ( we have like 8 graduated estudents and just 1 forenese antropologist in all the country). Things are just the same here if not worst, you need to do a lot to get in some institution and to be honest, i am afraid. Is my second career ( the 1 that i choiced, cause i like it) but well the existencial crisis apparently is part of the career

thanks a lot. you are full of positive energy

Ma'am ,, could you please guide me how can i get a internship in museums located in England, i am very enthusiastic in the museum profession , i am from india 🙏

I attended the Isla Mujeres field school and it changed my life. I got my educational anthro research published in an academic journal. Really awesome professor.

Alivia, your videos are so great and informational, I learn so much from you, thank you for this! Can you suggest a book that will provide me an overview of the field?

I only went for my bachelor's. But it seems I'm not going to make any money unless I go for my phd.

You should appear on Joe Rogan to talk about bondo apes, he does not handle it well. lol

My university offered a professional development course required for anthropology. It was very helpful on how to market yourself, build your resume, and advocate for yourself. I would’ve been lost without that course 😅

Hi Alivia, thank you so much for sharing! Your sharing is very inspirational!

Won't this attitude of relativism lead to a dead end? More to the point, don't your comments towards the end of the video undermine much (*not all*) of what you said at its beginning? What I'm trying to say is that if cultural relativism is as you've described then it might be better replaced by something else. Afterall, if I recognize discourse among cultures, or practical limitations imposed by geography (such as proximity to trading ports), or fauna (predators, prey, pests, etc.), or flora or any number of things, as profound influences on shaping a culture, then instead of relativism we should have curiosity. Curiosity, not because we want to avoid making judgements, but so that we can make more informed and wiser judgements, and not make cruel or unempathetic conclusions about another culture. In this way it's possible that we can enjoy food, music, literature, and expand our understanding of science and philosophy through the religions, jurisprudence, mathematics or pharmacology of other cultures while simultaneously condemning child sacrifice, or clitorectomies, or actual pseudoscience (for instance, rubbing oil into open wounds to heal them).

would i be right in saying that moral relativism does not mean "people can do whatever they want, even if it means killing other people" ?

Have you ever read 1491 by Charles C. Mann? I thought it was well written, but I don't have the training to evaluate whether it is solid scientifically. Just curious what you thought of it, if you've read it.

Just found your channel, thanks for doing what you do! Been thing around this question forever, and the things you said here definitely help me put some thoughts together. At the moment, I would say, to be human is to: observe and interact with our environment dynamically using the collection of physical senses and abilities that make us unique. Then, communicating those observations, actions, and feelings to others in our group through a myriad of mediums like, Body language, vocalization, and technology. Technology ranging from, language, writing, art, religion, etc.

This is such an informative video Since I'm taking linguistics and dont know wat to pursue with this degree ur videos helped me a lot! Thank you for sharing this valuable information 🌼❤

Hi Alivia, I have a doubt. Is textual and data analysis are same or not ? Currently iam doing MA in anthropology. So we have to study statistical analysis. Whats your opinion about getting a data analysis certificate course as a anthropology student ?

the divine timing of this video!! I am transferring to UCLA in the fall as an anthro major and am deciding my current path within the museum world! Thank you for creating this page and spreading your knowledge, this is truly amazing!

4:44 Kinda... think about in terms of productivity or scientific classification where new models and diversity were necessary cause a single name or method wasnt doing the work. There's a tribe who only have the colors dark, red, light and green, you have some work to do guys.

Another book is The Hate U Give! It is where I learned about Code Switching which is a huge aspect of language and communication :P

If no culture is better than another, why does everyone want to live in White countries? Why didn't sub-saharan Africa have two story buildings before Europeans turned up? Why didn't Boas settle long-term with the inuits? Why was cannibalism normalized in Pre-European Australia? Why did Native Americans practice human sacrifice on little girls until the late 19th century when pioneers outlawed it? Do you or Boas have any answers? Also, it's worth noting that Boas wasn't European and had a great deal of animosity towards western civilization.

this explanation just remind me of social ecology by Murray Bookchin

Can you tell us which campuses that have ecological anthropology? like top 10 or something

And this subject is so important I think, along with humanities and I can say we have got the best anthropology teacher..right here 👌

I really do like your teaching and the subject all four sub field that you discuss which is fascinating, my request for you is that can you please put some more video on applied anthropology thank you..👍

heyy completely off topic but i saw on a diff video that you’ve recommended books in linguistic anthro. however, i cannot find said recommendations 😢!! that’s on me, my bad… but could you tell me what those recs were? thank youuuu

Thanks queen

As a final Year student studying BSc Hons Social Anthropology on the shores of Njala University Sierra Leone, I am excited to have listened to your wonderful presentation.

another hive simpleton. Btw you look like if they found you in indiana jones 4.

Thank you. You explained it very well.

Hi, I am from Perú, I would like to know most economic anthropology.

He specializes in the science of archaeological preservation, as well as the specialty of forensic anthropology 😭💔

Glad you are back Alivia , i missed your videos a lot , i used to enjoy eating my food watching your videos which is apperantly the biggest compliment you can give to a UA-camr , you have always been imo one of the most underrated UA-camra out there , keep it up ❤

Prof Jared’s primary weakness is that he has not been trained in social science, i.e., he is trying to prove his point, he is not testing any hypotheses. Hence, he ends up with geographic determinism without considering how interconnected Homo sapiens are economically, linguistically, genetically, etc. Like Adam Smith who ignores slavery in the Wealth of Nations, Prof Jared is spinning a story to justify the use of guns, bioweapons, and cannons against native peoples. I would suggest that if you are going to major in anthropology, you should minor in statistics. (You can use statistics everywhere, but anthropology generally leads to a career in HR.) I was the Honors Programs Director in Economics and the Associate Director of Public Policy for 25 years at Stanford. My advice is that you skip the class with Prof Jared and do as much field work as you can, e.g., 4-Corners. Have fun, but don’t follow Diamond into a hole.

No Alivia, not everything is relative. In 1829 the first British governor of India, Lord William Bentwick, introduced the death penalty for anybody participating in Sati - the practice of Indian widows being burned alive on their husbands' funeral pyres. Was that cultural custom 'a-OK'? Alivia? In what is now Latin America, the Aztecs practiced mass human sacrifice; others practiced canibalism. Some cultures are objectively better than others.

One key point that people always seem to miss is that when Hancock is speaking to someone that agrees with him he doesn't let them ever embellish what he has said, even just a little bit. It's free support and influence under the radar it would win him points but he just doesn't. Even his boldest claims are measured, if he thinks people agree with him on something even a fraction more he'll reign it back in. He also owns his mistakes which is a lot more than 'big archaeology does'. They've destroyed the reputations of academics that have turned out to be right on something. Is there any apology though? Nope.

I hate wet blankets like you

Imagine if it's hard in the USA, how can it be in Latin America...

This video was so helpful ❤🎉... especially cause I'm in my final year and it's my first time doing anthropology module. Thank you😁

Hello! Im currently studying in high school and im trying to figure out the career that i should pursue in future. Since I have an interest in history, i think anthropology would be quite suitable for me but the main question Is that moving from india to other foreign country for a career in anthropology worth it?

i am thinking of pursuing this path... idk anymore TT it is really hard that social science programs are usually seen as unimportant or bad due to finances or such.

Hey... currently i am pursuing anthropology honors from University of Delhi, India. Currently I'm in first year and i want to come USA after my honors degree and i want to go for public relations.can i go for it in USA
