My career: Physical Anthropology

I chose to study antrhopology because i was interested in the speciality of archeology offered by the Universidad de Chile. This university was the only that offered me the posibility of choosing a different speciality but to continue with the anthropological training that i wanted.

As i commented in my previous posts, as a child i was interested in the history of the population, especially i wanted to dedicate my life to digging pyramids and those things that one imagines as a child for movies or television shows. However when i entered the university i realized that archeology was not for me because it seemed very boring and i did not like it. On the other hand, i started to get interested in other speciality, Phsysical Antrhopology, which is my current speciality. I'm interested because we study not only the customs of the past population and their organization, but also we study the human biology and it's interaction with social behavior. This is how i work with mummies and skeletons but i would also like work with living peoples in related areas public health or violence.
