What an enlightening and hysterical article! I especially love the intro. I'm sorry you've struggled with school. I believe you got this and you will get this. I remember struggling with my studies too. I managed and so will you!
Thank you, dear friend!💞💜I love that intro too, lol. It came about in the second draft, and as I was combining my two drafts, I kept thinking, "This is going in here...somewhere!"
Thank you, I'm glad that you enjoyed it, Michael! Yes, that imagery has now given me ideas for how I may start future posts out going forward, haha (It won't leave my head, help!)
Forensic anthropology is not reeeeeaaalllllyyyyyyyy anthropology. Right? I get it, and I think it's super cool! But it's like saying that Marx and Freud are philosophers. They are not. Just like these guys work with bones but have nothing to do with the whole rest of human history. I didn't know about those classifications so it was pretty interesting to discover more and make my own hectic opinion about them XD
I'm so glad that you asked that question! I'm going to give a brief explanation about forensic antheopology, but first I want to say that I do understand your point!
Forensic anthropology reeeeeeaaalllyyyy is part of anthropology-it's a verified specialization within the Physical Anthropology subfield😊 Forensic anthropologists do work with law enforcement to look at bones and identify the cause of death, including medical examiners and coroners. Forensic anthropologists are also able to use their skills if a human skeleton is found on an archaeology site-they can give an estimate of how long ago the person died, if it was a recent death (less than 50 years) or not recent death (more than 50 years). If a mass grave is found, a forensic anthropologist can also help with identifying the cause(s) of death. They have extensive training in the subjects of human osteology (the study of human bones) as well as human anatomy. It's just a matter of figuring out if the human is anciently dead or more recently dead.
As for Marx and Freud-I was just as surprised to find out that Marx had a hand in shaping early anthropology. I honestly don't know much about him, and where Freud is concerned-well, I don't really have anything nice to say about him soooo Ima stop, lmao! I definetly wouldn't consider either one a philospher, though😉
I hope I was at least able to help clear up some confusion about forensic anthropology😄Thank you again for the question! I'm glad you find it super cool and, although I don't consider myself an expert, if you have other questions or thoughts about anthropology, I'm happy to try and answer them for you, or find links that can help answer questions!
Thanks!! That makes a lot of sense! I did take anthropology 1.01 at Uni as an elective, and I didn't like my final grade so i took it again over the summer and got-the-same-grade-again! It's a complicated relationship hahaha
I completely understand! Kudos to you for trying! I've had to retake a few courses, including the class I'm currently taking so I can graduate! I've heard some people say that anthropology classes are easy to take, but I would argue that the cultural and physical anthropology classes are the hardest, lol. I've never taken an anthro linguistics class (but I did take four semesters of Spanish-can still barely speak it!), but I've somehow managed to do well in the archaeology classes I've taken🙃🤣

Wow! That is awesome! 👏😻
A very interesting and informative piece, Kimber. I really enjoyed the way you started it — it was very engaging :)
