Hi
I'd love to take History or Anthropology tbh but eh didn't make it to the university I've designated to take those degrees (I forgot to send in the last few paperworks the University of the Philippines required; got swamped with research lmao)
There's also "rude" and "cretin".
Indeed. Like fish before meat in a two-course meal and white wine before the red.
Great story. I read it at a remote cottage on a Winter night, many years ago. I dreamt of shoggoths.
Cultural Anthropologist here.
Good thing this region has a psychic and palm reader with strange shamanic powers. I have breakfast with chthonian entities, hobnob with angels.
I want to make a Wonder, but the event requires math puzzles. I’m good at math, just not math puzzles.

Are you a Subgenius? The above sounds a little like it came out of the Subgenius Brag.

If you don't mind me asking, what does a cultural anthropologist do? And are there different fields within anthropology (aside from Dr. Temperance Brennan's Forensic Anthropology)?
I'm a "sub-a lot of things", old boy. Genius, alas, isn't one of them.
Well, I'd say that Anthropologists observe and study "Man, the Creature" and "Man, the Creator", both within the wider spectrum of Social Sciences.
The Physical/Biological branch is the "hard science" element. It studies the Evolution of Man, as the Social Animal par excellence, its Physyology and Anatomy and the way it adapted to different environments.
Cultural Anthropology looks at different cultures as Man's Supreme Creation. Cultures are the ways Man looks at Himself, they are the prime and primordial way Man reflects on his own collective condition, who he is and what is he doing here. For example I know of no culture lacking a Creation Myth.
Cultural Anthropology focuses on social structure more than on social phenomena to understand the nuts and bolts, what glues ethnics group together, and attempts to find traits and characteristics that unite Man in the immense variety of manifestations of his existence.
What is it that makes Man Human ? Cultures do. The ultimate example are feral children. Are they Men ? Yes, they are. Are they Human ? Hardly, because they're underdeveloped ; they don't speak a language and do not share any of other things that make you and me Human. Therefore, being Human is more than being a Man. A Human belongs to a community of other Humans and when and where that happened Cultures were formed.
A professor of mine once quipped that Cultural Anthropology is about what people cook and what they do in bed. He was of course talking about what the Economy of, say, a tribe is - what they eat - and what their mating and marriage rituals are like. Which ultimately leads to the matter of their organisation as a group, their rules and institutions.
Religion is another important aspect. I mentioned Shamanism. Well, at some point in History, all Mankind had the same religion and that was Shamanism-Animism. An unique Era in History, perhaps more apropriately Pre-History, that is lost forever. When all Cultures in the world shared the same belief.

Holy Moly, Karamuru, you ARE a genius!
tbh I'd argue that people who study how people works are geniuses.

You're too kind, both of you. I just like to read and think, that's all.
Re pizza toppings. Of course, all toppings can't be listed or the poll would go on forever. However....ham! pineapples! bacon! and no meatballs???
Also, marguerita pizzas are fabulous. What? You don't know what that is? Fresh sliced mozzarella with a fresh basil leaf on top of each slice, over tomato pie.
Also, there the ever popular "white" pizza, with no sauce on top. I'd put fresh diced tomatoes, mushrooms, broccoli, spinach, garlic, with ricotta piped around the edge.
I regularly eat margherita pizzas at an authentic Italian pizzeria where I live. Your post made me hungry.
I love Magherita, but recently, I've started to find I really enjoy some nice crsipy bacon on pizza. Cut in small pieces, scattered on it.

Hey guys, want a potato?
It's finger-licking good. Yummy
I like it bacon and black olives. I'm Portuguese, I lived in Greece and I been in Italy for over a year. Us Southern Europeans can't live without olives.
Sure?
