The Anthropology Song: A little bit Anthropologist

**July 25th** Hey Anthro fans! Help us win the MEC video contest for the awesome new music video/tutorial I just made! It's called "How to Pee in Kelp" -- yes, it's just what it sounds like -- you can watch and vote at www.mec.ca And if you feel like providing some sort of awesome smart-alecky Mary Douglas-ian commentary about matter-out-of-place .... DO IT!! :D **February 24th** An alternative to the verse "the difference between us is not so much" is simply "the difference between us is a social construct"! I sing that now when I play :) **November 21st** This song is dedicated to all anthro-enthusiasts (lay and pro) and students everywhere! The line about Anthro professors all being kinda crazy I will specifically dedicate to my own anthro 100 prof, who has continued to inspire me towards craziness ever since that first class back in 2004. * If you leave a comment, especially if you've watched this in a class, I'd love to know where/what school you're from. Interview with Lorenz Khazaleh: www.antropologi.info ** The chords are super simple: Am, C, G, D. Feel free to learn it, play it, reappropriate it, share it, and add your own verses! Also, any video responses are welcome. Also, I'll be playing this song at the AAA meeting in December. Kinda incredible, eh? :) I graduated with a BA in Anthro and Religious Studies in May '09 from the University of British Columbia - now doing a Masters in Anthro at U of Toronto, Canada. *** Lyrics: Hey Mom & Dad, I've got to come out ...

What Would Alien Anthropologists Think of Us? - Wade Davis

Complete video at: fora.tv Wade Davis, author of The Wayfinders: Why Ancient Wisdom Matters in the Modern World, criticizes the United States for viewing technological prowess as the only sign of progress. "Climate change should finally teach us that we're not the paragon of humanity's potential," he says. ----- What does it mean to be human and alive? The thousands of different cultures and languages on Earth have compellingly different answers to that question. "We are a wildly imaginative and creative species," declares Wade Davis, and then proves it with his accounts and photographs of humanity plumbing the soul of culture, of psyche, and of landscape. The threat to cultures is often ideological, Davis notes, such as when Mao whispered in the ear of the Dalai Lama that "all religion is poison," set about destroying Tibetan culture. The genius of culture is the ability to survive in impossible conditions, Davis concludes. We cannot afford to lose any of that variety of skills, because we are not only impoverished without it, we are vulnerable without it. - The Long Now Foundation Edmund Wade Davis (born December 14, 1953) is a noted Canadian anthropologist, ethnobotanist, author and photographer whose work has focused on worldwide indigenous cultures, especially in North and South America and particularly involving the traditional uses and beliefs associated with psychoactive plants. Davis came to prominence with his 1985 best-selling book The Serpent and the Rainbow ...
