Well, as you may -or not- know, I'm studying to be an anthropologist.. To be more precise a biological anthropologist..
It's fun when you realize that actually no one out of the anthropological or bio-scientific field knows what a biological anthropologist is or do.. And it made some sense, after all we usually work in not really public research or associated to more known scientific disciplines.
The biological or physic anthropology is actually related to many other sciences and has a huge work field..
We can do from skeleton identification to epidemiology research.. So we contribute in so much different ways to society that it would be really exhausting to name them all.. So I'll talk just about the line that I want to follow: the forensic physic anthropology, which is related to police work.
In our discipline we work with bones, usually to identified people's skeletons, in order to solve crimes or help relatives to find someone they lost -like when there is genocide, a biological anthropologist team is in charge to identified the people in the communal tombs-... we also identified the kind, time and origin of bone wounds.. we can get tons of information just from a few bones, it's awesome, really..
We usually work with magnifying glasses, tapes of measuring, paintbrushes, X-ray photographies, some liquids and several other things that it's unnecessary and excessive to mention..
Well since I already said which area chose, now I just have to say why was this and not other one of the many that there are.. And that's related to my personality..
I always like crime and mystery related things.. Like murders biographies, suspense novels and tales, criminology cryptology and all that kind of things related to that kind of subjects.. And I also have a huger interest for things related to death, I don't know why, but there is it.. So I always wanted to work in something related to police, crime or death it self.. And it just happens that forensic biological anthropology have it all! So It's kinda the perfect career to me...
And well I think that this is more than enough.. so bye!

Gabriela,
ResponderEliminarYou must really love this branch of anthropology, I can see that this really makes you tick. It’s great when someone feels passionately for their job, so I guess you will make a good biological anthropologist.
Great post! –(Awesome, as you would put it), I just corrected/suggested a few things.
Compare: ‘I always wanted to ...’ (in the past)/ ‘I have always wanted to...’(I did and I still do)
My career
