It’s a weird experience sitting doing paperwork while bones are being identified and sorted into separate bags. Packed up into plastic boxes to go into storage. I’ve heard people talk about the finality of death how all that’s left is the body. Yet in some way it feels like the body because a new living thing after. I’ve never dealt in fleshy remains only skeletons. But the bones still feel alive. They still have a story to tell. I’ve been thinking recently about when the archaeologist becomes the archaeology. Even sitting beside them I am part of their story. Not just of the bones but the people they are. They are also part of me and part of my story. Now they are part of yours - - - - - - #history #archaeology #archaeologist #ancienthistory #historymemes #historygram #anthropology #anthropologist #excavation
Yesterday was the 40th anniversary of the MOVE bombing in Philadelphia (City of Brotherly Love). Police dropped a bomb from a helicopter onto a residential house killed 11 people including 5 children aged 7-14. Not all remains were returned to their families and instead were kept in storage and forgotten. In 2019 a Coursera course was filmed where the remains of one of the children were described as juicy. - - - - - - #archaeology #archaeologist #anthropology #historygram #anthropologist #philadelphia

ANCIENT EGPYT WAS A BLACK AFRICAN CIVILISATION In a bid to present our ancestors as primitive people, European anthropologists and historians would discount the contributions of Africans towards civilisation. Ancient Egyptian civilisation is a case in point. Its achievements were often presented as the products of a White culture - for example, by the likes of French Egyptologist Gaston Camille Charles Maspero (1846-1916). More recently, British writer Graham Hancock even suggested that Egyptian civilisation was (at the time) impossible to achieve without assistance from an advanced race - be it alien or some lost civilisation. In this clip from the Cairo Museum, a lecturer in African history, civilisation, religion and culture dispels these myths using hair samples from ancient Egyptians to show that they were undoubtedly Black Africans. #Ancestors #Primitive #European #Anthropologist #Historians #AncientEgypt #BlackAfrican #CairoMuseum #weareallafricanstream
Have you ever heard of ghost processions? They were once common in southern Italy — nights when the living met the dead ✩🕸 ˖ . If you’d like to read more about death and folklore in southern Italy, read the marvellous work of Italian anthropologist, Ernesto de Martino ♥︎ . . . . . . . . . #Anthropology #Anthropologist #GhostStories #HalloweenRituals #Folklore #MythAndMeaning #Storytelling #CulturalAnthropology #RitualsAndBelief #AllSaintsDay #Ognissanti #HumanCultures #LivingTraditions

الأنثروبولوجيا Anthropology . الأنثروبولوجيا هي علم يدرس الإنسان دراسة شاملة من حيث أصله البيولوجي وتطوره عبر الزمن إضافة إلى ثقافاته وسلوكياته الاجتماعية. يهتم هذا العلم بفهم الإنسان بوصفه كائناً بيولوجياً وثقافياً يعيش ضمن مجتمعات تتشكل فيها العادات واللغة والدين والاقتصاد وأنماط التفكير. ظهرت الأنثروبولوجيا كعلم منظم في القرن التاسع عشر عندما حاول العلماء تفسير تنوع الشعوب والثقافات في العالم اعتماداً على المنهج العلمي والملاحظة الميدانية. ينقسم هذا العلم عادة إلى عدة فروع رئيسية. الأنثروبولوجيا الفيزيائية تدرس التطور البيولوجي للإنسان وأصوله وعلاقته بالكائنات الحية الأخرى مثل الرئيسيات إضافة إلى دراسة الحفريات البشرية القديمة. الأنثروبولوجيا الثقافية تركز على دراسة ثقافات المجتمعات البشرية وأنظمتها الاجتماعية وقيمها وعاداتها وكيفية تشكلها وتغيرها عبر الزمن. أما الأنثروبولوجيا اللغوية فتهتم بدراسة اللغة بوصفها أداة أساسية للتواصل وبناء الثقافة. كذلك توجد الأنثروبولوجيا الأثرية التي تدرس بقايا الحضارات القديمة لفهم حياة الإنسان في العصور الماضية. تكمن أهمية الأنثروبولوجيا في أنها تساعد على تفسير التنوع البشري وفهم كيفية تشكل المجتمعات والثقافات المختلفة. كما تسهم في تفسير العلاقة بين البيئة الطبيعية والسلوك الإنساني وتوضح كيف تطورت الأفكار والعادات والأنظمة الاجتماعية عبر التاريخ. وبذلك يعد هذا العلم محاولة علمية لفهم الإنسان ككل من خلال الربط بين تطوره البيولوجي وتكوينه الثقافي والاجتماعي. #instagram #anthropologist
Today we remember the life and legacy of Jane Goodall, primatologist, anthropologist, and someone who challenged our idea of what makes us “human.” From her pioneering work with chimpanzees in Gombe to founding the Jane Goodall Institute and the Roots & Shoots movement, her journey continues to inspire compassion, science, and real change. #janegoodall #primatology #conservation #wildlife #animalbehaviour #gombe #chimpanzees #animalrights #naturelovers #environment #wildlifeconservation #scientisttribute #ecoactivism #socialimpact #natureeducation #animallovers #nature #primates #chimps #chimpanzeesofinstagram #climatechange #natgeowild #upsc #anthropology #anthropologist
