Lessons you can learn from a world renowned anthropologist

- Apparently anthropology has something to do with people? (Who knew)

- Definitions are useless and it is our job as anthropologists to defy existing definitions in order to make sure that nobody has a clue about what it is they’re actually doing, studying or seeing.

- Although we should defy all definitions in order to create complete and ultimate chaos, we should still approach every society and country in the same way and with the same questions and surveys. Because well, diversity is a fairytale they tell little children. But us anthropologists know better!! (Hunh? What? Wait!!...)

- Anthropologists should only do research when there are tipi’s or dirt huts involved. Because if you do anthropological research in a place where there’s electricity and running water and no life threatening diseases , it’s just not the same

- Although the common man might think it strange, child mortality rates can actually be considered humorous or funny by some. Especially by world renowned anthropologists.

- It’s much better to know a little more then jack sh*t about 45 different countries then it is to know a whole lot about one country in particular.


Hmm...enlightening indeed…
