Thank you for making these videos available for people to learn about this field. I appreciated the section on "Why Does Anthropology need to be 'improved'", as I was having some of those thoughts leading up to that section

Tjank you sir . I'm first year anthropology student and this field has facinated me

The most awful ads play on this channel if you don’t SKIP right away. These ads counter everything you say, professor.

An Internet TREASURE AND SHOULD BE IN all claases teaching sociology

I found the whole "tragedy of the commons" propaganda from the early 1900s interesting. If anything, it's human nature to care about the environment but there's so much aggressive propaganda against sustainable policy starting in the 1500s? Or was it 1600?

Adaptation is the most indigenous quality of indigenous people. Or else they would not be here. Hence the bananas, mangos and backpacks.

So interesting thank you

As of 2024 self-driving cars have killed 45 people. Just heard the stat-on YT.

Thank you so much, Professor Jason, for these compelling Anthropology classes. I've found them very useful for my studies at university because I can dive deeper into some concepts and discover new sources. I hope you continue doing this amazing job 🥳 Greetings from Perú! 💫

could i please ask, is this lecture being presented at university/academic grounds?

27:29 “Our public schools are just as segregated as before Brown v. Board of Education.” I’ve appreciated your lectures up to here, but I offer an observation. You do not look like you are someone who has lived through the 40s, 50s, and 60s. To my knowledge Montana does not have a history of having large populations of people of color. I have lived through these decades and known the segregated society. I lived it. I remember how segregated not only schools but all of society was, north, south, east, and west each in their own “cultural” way. My lived experience is that no, our public schools-and society as a whole-are *not* “just as segregated as before.” Now if schools where you live are, well then that’s on you and your fellow citizens who allowed local government to ignore long existing law and ongoing work for DEI. Of all scholars an anthropologist should understand that, measuring from 1620, changing four centuries of societal patterns just may take more than 60 years. As one who has worked for and lived the changes regarding segregation my observation is that in the last 60 years since the Civil Rights Act, we have made astounding progress. Is it enough? Absolutely not. Are schools “just as segregated as before”? Absolutely, categorically not.

Thank you for your work.

Professor, Koko had never been taught the word duck. Bird and water had been taught. The first time she saw a duck she signed water-bird. How is this not rudimentary thinking? Note the signing was not bird-water. This shows an understanding that bird is the significant identifier. Again, that takes some understanding, however rudimentary. But love the 2024 update anyway, especially the latest thinking on the human evolution of the wise-ape. 😊

What a bummer

❤❤❤

This idea of white people not doing anything to deserve their benefits is ridiculous. The white child is the product of a society created by white people for white people. White ancestors did cool things for their childrens' children, so non-whites' complaint should be more like, Wish my parents had saved.

Do glaciers listen? Are volcanoes goddesses? How could anyone believe such things! Well, I’ve had a glimpse. A few years ago I watched a long series of videos on Kilauea’s eruption. One sight startled me. As I watched, the flame rose straight up in the center of the top of the volcano, literally a pillar of flame. Instantly, simultaneously on both sides rose similar pillars of fire, straight on the sides, flat on the tops. For a moment the image resembled a person, head high in the middle, a shoulder on either side. “Wow,” I thought, “there she is. Pele.” And with flying sparks for hair. I understood that the ancient Hawaiians were not making something up, were not seeing supernatural visions, but that some of them at some time saw what I saw. Not being volcanologists, they named what they’d seen a goddess. Who else could be living fire? Glaciers talk-they crack and rumble. So why shouldn’t they listen? Fascinating lecture.

Loved it !

GENDER IS JUST MAN AND WOMAN

THERE IS ONLY A AMAN AND WOMAN.

Needed this today. Thank you for lending us a lens of the world through the eyes of anthropology. I shared this with some of my friends-what a different world if more of us could see things this way. I appreciate your closing message too. Looking at more of your lectures :)

How about a few words on anthropologist Nancy Levine’s late 80s work on the polyandry of that Nepal village? Three decades later, how are they doing? Still polyandrists? The village has grown in size, or shrunk? Men happy, or leaving the village? Women happy, or leaving the village? Just curious.

Dr. A, just finished your Cultural Ecology 2024. It’s good to review and update the anthropology I first studied decades ago. Here’s a story I love for your collection, nothing to do with sex and gender, but a great story of the ancient, indigenous meeting the modern, technological. Sorry, but I never wrote down the source. Here’s what I remember. Somewhere in the Amazon an indigenous tribe was losing the battle to save the rain forest. Actually, they weren’t trying to save the whole rain forest but very much felt impelled to save the acreage the government had recognized as theirs. Unfortunately, the logging companies didn’t listen to the government, and the government didn’t have an army of forest rangers to find and arrest the loggers. Some of the young men of the tribe, true braves I’ll call them, noticed something strange when they went to market in the closest town. People were talking into a small, rectangular box they held in their hand. They didn’t need to learn the name “cell” phone or “mobile” phone. In a rain forest without telephone poles it would simply become “phone,” no poles or wires needed. The braves concocted their plan. They spread out in ones and twos throughout their territory. When loggers were located, the call went out to all. They met, discussed their strategy, went to work. Some braves were murdered by logging company goons. True braves, they learned how to better protect themselves without giving in. They did not retaliate in kind but used tactics like creeping into the loggers’ camps, draining the water from the only water truck, raiding the food stores, and sabotaging the equipment. The companies sent men with guns. The braves got sneakier. They took advantage of the loggers’ fears: that the natives were uncivilized, wild, cruel torturers, even cannibals. All untrue. But the braves howled like banshees from their hidden nooks and tied animal skulls to trees. Anything to urge on the loggers’ fear of the jungle so it fed on itself-psychological warfare we’d call it. The article said it was working. The logging companies couldn’t find workers to replace those scared away-too afraid of being some wild man’s dinner. By now the braves are probably using drones and computer mapping to further protect their territory. Ancient met modern, and modern lost.

Me with wings serious put all the episodes back paramount also consider renuion special alreadyb

Wow

I love Donald Glover's small cameo in this. He's great in everything.

The scene hits a bit harder with the removal of Muppet Vision from Disney and the overall treatment of the brand lately. Pretty on point.

YT shows like China Uncensored point to facts showing a more negative picture, not for the world, but for China. Their young men don’t have enough women to marry due to their long one-child policy and the aborting of female fetuses. Their 20-somethings, women and men, have no jobs. Their buildings crash down on whoever’s inside due to “tofu building.” That’s what they call the inferior materials and building methods used. They know how to build correctly but choose not to so the builders can keep more money. Above all, keep in mind that any statistics coming out of China are designed to make China look good. Anthropologists are not seeing the picture from the inside if they think China is interested in “culturally relevant ethical frameworks.” I’ve been there. Those who believe China is rising and in a “human-centered transition in China” are seeing what the government wants the West to see and blind to the reality of the enormous suffering the Chinese people endure.

Hope is not an emotion. It is a decision. It is the internal self-talk of “We can do this. We will change this. We will overcome. Yes, we can.” Optimism is self-talk. It is a choice to notice and rejoice over every small movement toward the goal. The emotion, whether joy or happiness or pleasure or satisfaction, comes from attainment of each incremental goal toward the ultimate, society-changing goal.

Thank you, Dr. Antrosio. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the review and update of info and understandings gained since I was in graduate school many decades ago.

I am watching in Ethiopia. This is an interesting topic. Thank you for posting it, Professor What is the name of the textbook you are using?

“How are we going to put these places back together?” you ask. The very question shows you did not live through the worst of the Cold War, which today only continues in another form. Read about your “angry anthropology” on your site with amusement. Try a lifetime of the same reasons for that anger. No matter, we changed the world anyway. I enjoy your work as I take in your update of an old college course.

Dear speaker, I wish you had paid more attention before uploading video, the others you are hosting cannot be heard.

Good stuff!

what does the (13) in your slides mean? or any other number enclosed in a bracket

Amazing ❤❤❤

Teach more "Dawn of Everything" 😃😃

Who is this idiot

Sounds like anthropologists are jealous of archeologists. Really? Grown-ups unevolved?

Thank you

It makes no sense to me why it is automatically assumed that humans originated in Africa. The earliest known primate, purgatorius, was found in Montana, U.S. and dates to about 166 million years ago. Primates then migrated from North America to Asia, then to Africa and Europe per the fossil record. There was no doubt much evolutionary branching in the approximately 100 million years it took for the primates to migrate from North America to Africa and we likely only have a minute fraction of the various primate species on the fossil record. It is extremely likely that the vast majority of human ancestors are completely missing from our present fossil record.

Thanks for posting, interesting topic!

Stone Tools 😂😂😂

thank you!

thank you <3

Thank you for your time and knowledge.

Good stuff!

There's nothing intellectual about this lecturer.... he just talks too much and likes the sound of his own voice and is simply regurgitating basic information

Absurd study suggesting that the massive depopulation would cause a climatic change when It is well known that pandemic diseases used to cause a máximum of 30%-50% of deads depending on zones like in medieval Europe, not the so call and absurd 80%-90%-95% depopulation. If pandemics causes global clime changes It would had ocurred once each Century. Even more because the animals and plants also suffers pandemic issues....so It has no sense. Probably the population within the Americas never exceded 20 million by 8 million in Norteamerica, 4 million Central América amd Caribe and 8 million in south America, so that figures given by someones like 100 million or 80 million even 120 million or 200 million are absolutely absurd, don't you?

The Pope was an external power to refferee among the Kingdoms....It was some kind of ONU president at that time, don't you? Until the break event ....
