Anthropology Major Fox

Hello, and welcome to Anthropology Major Fox, the meme for us Anthro freaks.

You don't have to be a major or minor to appreciate the submissions, you just have to love that tricky little field of Anthropology. Submissions about all four (perhaps five) areas of Anthropology will be accepted; Cultural, Biological, Linguistic, and Archeological Anthropology, as well as Applied Anthropology (if you think that's separate).

Wondrous tags on this post. I love Anthropology Major Fox. Because really, I feel this is a continuing joke for several reasons.

One, I remember reading for my archaeology class that a lot of the women who were forging the way for female archaeologists (and anthropologists) drank whisky straight from the bottle while they dug. Or perhaps whiskey. I don’t know if they imported their booze or compromised with American.

Two, we do have to bear the weight of the terrible history of our profession.

Three, it’s quite difficult to remove oneself from a group they are studying if you also belong to the group. Humans studying humans. I’m sure you’d be able to gain new insight into yourself (I know that’s true in my experience).

So, lots of stress and historical indicators. Those are my thoughts anyway.

A) I love that you love my tags, Jaye.

B) I agree with everything you said
