Lecture 1 - Introduction to Anthropology 

I dropped out of school to help my family, and for someone who is dying to study and work for a career your channel is a life saver. Maybe someday I will get enough saved up that I can go to college. Fingers crossed.

Thank you for putting this video out for people like myself who love Anthropology but cannot afford to study it.

Starting an anthropology course soon and using these videos as a prep, very interesting!!

Now why would anyone downvote this? This is a good introduction to what seems like a great and exciting series. Thank you Prof. Paling!

After watching this video I just decided what I’m major in 🎥 Anthropology 👏🏻

Professor Paling, this is a very good, concise introduction to Anthropology.

please what is the name of the book therefore ,we can folllow

interesting so no zzzzzz from me. I am 60 years old and I am going back to school to get a degree in Anthropology this was good...not going to school for more money or anything like that I went to college when I was young and majored in Business that is what I liked at the time....I thought but I really wish I had majored in Anthropology because this is a study I love...more please.

Thank you sir.. it meant a lot to me who love anthropology lot but don't have facility to study.. your videos gave lot of information

I for one, enjoyed the first 41 seconds.

This is amazing!!!! Thank you so much for sharing prof!!! I've always been interested in Cultural and Social Anthropology!!!

Wow. Avicii intro. Didn't see that one coming.subscribing to this channel right away. Forgive my prejudice 🤣

Thank you so much for the lecture. I am taking Cultural Anthropology this summer and your lecture definitely helped me be motivated for the class to be complete and giving me the confidence to register for the class as well. I appreciate it.

Thank you. I am artist from brazil and now I want to do antropology. Great class, the only thing I have to say is that the video does not have subtitles in english... I am not so good in this languange, so, if you can do something I appreciate. The youtube puts automatically the legends, you just have to permit, agree when you post the video. 🦋

I find western culture fascinating the most, however even if I'm learning a lot and I probably know a lot of anthropology/philosophy/psychology that it's natural for me to study that I absorb information quickly, it's not the best field for me to want to study. I still can't help not to observe though. In the USA because it's multicultural, you can see people's culture everywhere you go, so I'm learning everyday. But so far I'm observing the western culture the most.

thanks very much for that amazing lecture

Im getting my bachelors in psychology but i am taking it in Spanish and while it’s my mother tongue and I though oh I speak Spanish I’m Hispanic well... I never went to a Spanish speaking school (born and raised in the states) and now I am having trouble understanding the more “eloquent” Spanish vocabulary that differs from the everyday Spanish I’m used to ....so here we are trying to teach myself in English through RU-vid lol ...

thanks professor for your nice lecture about introduction of anthropology. .

Traditional values refer mainly to circles and curves which reflect in their Art, the way they meet and often their habitat. The technological world we live in sits on linear structures physically and mentally. On one side we have circles, on the other we have squares: for one to directly fit with the other, one has to dominate! Equality between the two may require to go into virtual mode: with a non competitive approach, one can go back and forth from one to the other and experience the journey. To start with the conception that one is right and the other wrong is not leading to solutions, to adopt one approach or the other according to circumstances would be more like it! We may like the idea, but have no illusion about a global application, we can then possibly make use of this concept at our level.

Thank you so much prof, for amazing lecture . I am anthropology student in Japanese university . I am looking for short term research exchange program some where native English country. please give me advice

Can we have a moment for the one operating the camera, the man just vibing and having fun with those close-ups jeez

Shoutout to UofR ! Great school. I'm from and live in Rochester.

What was that book?

i put this video on because I was having trouble sleeping at night.

Cultura es:..."La resultante del esfuerzo hecho en la interacción social, política y económica de un conglomerado de seres que se identifican a sí mismos como un ente aparte"...

Great video!

I just wanted to comment - the example at 15:00 of the underestimation by residents of their "consumption of beer" was not really the best example IMHO, simply because drinking is something most people grossly understate in general, just because it's not something you really want to brag about, unless you are like, waking up the next day after a frat party, lol

Amazing lecture. . Tnx prof

I don't need to travel outside the U.S. to do anthropology work, I study the difference between African American culture and whites ha!

what a sick song to put on this video intro

My area of study! 😃

I took this class but ended up dropping because it was too difficult for me. I ended up re-taking the class, coming in with a better understanding and passed with a B so happy

Truly wish I could watch. Hopefully in the future you can add captions for hearing impaired. I can’t take in the full value of everything you’re saying because I can’t hear you. :(

Review my college studying~

what careers can anthropology majors get? Because i'm not sure i'm going to major in when I go to college.

unsure of what anthropology is, you see to him haw on it, your physical response suggests you question what anthro is,,,...?

Thank you Jason.

I'm having a hard time separating my emotions and personal belief system from the scientific fact!!!! professor

Who's this fella? Why does he have so many definitions that's "his own" definitions that, by his own words, don't agree with the definitions that're in his students' books?

So yes I am saying that if you weighed anthropology along those other sciences it would not be favoured and have got through everything prior. If I were lazier which I already am enough I could have gone and taken anthropology. I KNOW that and I am starting the third (final) level of pathophysiology and Ill tell it would have given me less work to do. It probably would if I did it now, although I am not going to opt to do such a thing instead

Can anyone recommend any good books focusing around anthropology? I'm fascinated by differences in cultures from both psychological and narrative aspects. I'm thinking of studying it at Uni though i'd like to grasp a better idea of the subject without hitting the purely academic focused books like anthropology for dummies etc. Good video by the way!

In want to understand history better, like anthropology would do it. But 🤔 more important is to understand the brain nowadays. I don’t know people understand human behaviour and to get into that field with Professor Robert Sapolsky I have a long way to go. :( Lots of medicine involve but I’ll get there. I’ve got forensics to study for that 💔 And I hope as good as Professor Philip Zelikow to undertand human behaviour like part of history .. Aka: main goal: why are we so stupid.

Thank you so much!

I thought anthropology was like studying bones and finding out how they does or what not or is that strictly Forensic Anthropology?

I came for the intro but stayed for the lecture 😅

I wonder which part of the Philippines he is referring to. I'm from the Philippines and I haven't heard of such custom with the left and right hand. Nonetheless, great lecture for an introduction. Thanks.

For a science presenter to be credible they must be precise. This includes their language. I am regularly forced to tolerate without remark the sloppy pronunciation of "et cetera" as "ek setera". However when that sloppiness degenerates into abbreviating the phrase as "ect." then I must object. For science accurate observation precedes clear explanation.

I’m here because I’m obsessed with bones

Thank u so much

So, who we are ?

Unable to find Lectures 2-5. Wonder why.

Is it better to know our origin as man and why

what book is that? "your book"

If you are going there - keep in mind that anthropology isnt a science - even if it gets into bones and all that. Do not expect the medical facilities, hospital employers, or health care/information management programs to recognize it- that is not psychology which can be more of a science (although not always is that considered substantial) and it certainly is not biology which most medical or health professions want you to study or have a good background in unless you want to risk it in a specialized school like I did although I can have the mindset for the sciences. Some act as if it is scientific and it can be analyzed using the methods although it is a social science which often belongs with sociology and those sorts of fields. I am not saying it should not be looked into for interest if you want or if you are going more for social disciplines - it is more oriented to studying cultures for social reasons and I know people who study it. Do not expect it to count as a course to back or plar you for specialized school courses other than for graduate work in its own field.

What is the name of the text book your refer to and its author?

In all Islamic societies people eat with their right hands , that's because our prophet prayers be upon him commend us to eat with the right,and to do all things that might get your hands dirty with your left hand.Religion in the Islamic world is main source of culture.

etnologists? is it another wprd for ethnographer?

Anthropology is depressing. Especially when you get deep into it.

perfect

Is it normal for a 12 year old to be able to understand what he means, cause when I started school I found and anthropology book at school and checked it out having 30+ pages of info and my mom let me have her anatomy book. And I started studying in 4th grade. Found and website that has a thing that taught me how to put together and names of the bones.

oh it was about different cultures! The lady from the dream don't ask! she had very striking eyes! and high cheek bones and dark hair! (8_+) okay i get the picture! you have skills no one can ignore! Just don't use them for war! (-_+) I'm not allowed to hurt living creatures but machines don't have souls!

Where's the second lecture?

African Shamans have been practicing Anthropology since... well... Humans

sir what is the difference between anthropology and archaelogy

I decided not to continue watching the rather good lecture because you state text in the Bible as a historical fact.

it would be funny asf if professor Paling atarting dancing like in the avicii song

And neurology.. but that involves organics and anything you do affects the brain 🧠 for that you need lots of research. 💔 I do have to say I like neurosurgery 🤭 makes me hungry.

@ omega how could anthro poss be depressing..thats an ignorant hypothesis

did you want to explain christianity even more? you looked like you wanted to explain something. jw

fun

I thought this is like 2017. Why not just like use a vacuum cleaner.

whats the intro song

this professor is my daddy

Anyways. Pretty much just dying thanks. 🙏

*word

not fact.

Overproduced to start

Please don't touch your face. Please, please, please...

Avicii is dead

lets not forget that evolution and the idea that humans are "animals" is just a THEORY.

Are you single ❤

THAT IS NOT THE DEFINITION IN THE BOOK! YOU ARE EXHUASTING, WITH NO FOUNDATION. YAHWEH HELP US ALL .

zzz...

You're pretty 🔥
