When you hear the word "anthropology", do you immediately think of a trendy clothing store or a large esoteric that promises a long wait in the unemployment line? Does anyone even studying anthropology at this time where even the most practical specialties such as accounting, medicine and computer science, we can not guarantee a decent job?
If you are one of those who specialize in anthropology today and it's too late to turn back, or if the rookie has announced that he /
she wants to study and consider supporting their child forever, that are inspired by National Geographic Mireya Mayor. Not only qualify for the great work that leads to exciting exotic locations around the world, but also helped him become a TV presenter whose series Emmy last night, with Mireya Mayor Wild in 'National Geographic Wild, raised eyebrows scores and murderer.
Being an animal expert on TV was the last thing the mayor should do when he graduated from high school. She was the daughter of the excessive protection of Cuban parents would not let join the Girl Scouts, because they thought it was too wild. She spent one season as an NFL cheerleader and plans to go to school to become a lawyer, but once he made his first anthropology class she was hooked.
He moved to large, received
a Fulbright scholarship, and worked on his doctorate in Anthropology feared - ". Study of the human race in all respects, especially in human culture and human development" So, what is an animal Wild as an expert?
"There are four sub-fields of anthropology," said the mayor. "Archaeology, Cultural, physical, and linguistics. Physics is the study of primates, which was my field. "She was in Madagascar, studying the pit, a natural predator of lemurs. (Lemurs are primates. Who knew?) This is that 'She ran into a film crew from National Geographic, who worked at one of their specials lemur famous. They saw a pretty blonde who knew his stuff, and invited him to come on board with Nat Geo. The next thing she knew, she shows host of wildlife to the popular cable channel.
"I was a real girly girl," she said. "I had never even been camping before I went to Amazon to make a show." Now she is literally up to the elbows in the mud and goo and turns his eyes wild animals to the eye on a daily basis.
His series "Wild Nights" explores the surprising amount of wildlife that live among humans in urban centers. She was surprised to find sea turtles the size of Volkswagen on the beaches of Florida, and Rio de Janeiro, found giant capybaras, which are rodents - some as large as the German shepherd. Crocodiles are common in the tropical city streets and bats and snakes are common in almost all cities, second, because people buy them as pets and then when they grow too large, set them free in parks or sewerage systems. "People do not know, but the snake people are really out of control in most urban centers," the mayor said.
"It's amazing how wild animals are adapted to live among humans," he says. She gives the example of feral pigs in the freedom and development of an urban park in downtown New Orleans. "As our cities expand, invading their natural habitat, and have an extraordinary setting. You do not have to go somewhere exotic and far to see wildlife," he said. Could be living just down the block, or even in your yard. Check what the city bugs are crawling seekers around the city.
Speaking of the court, the mayor of travel, however, admits that there is no place like home, where she has a husband and two daughters waiting for him. Sometimes you get to his family, his exotic travel, and she thinks shes exposing them to a unique and valuable. His next book, "Pink Boots and Machete," Chronicles, his travels and experiences.
"I want to encourage especially women to follow their dreams and their passions, and not to stop," he says. He thinks of himself as living proof anthropology major can be a practical and employable, after all.
