What is the World of Paleoanthropology?

Hello there!

For those of you who are new to the website, or are unfamiliar with what I do, (Hi, I’m Seth, the guy from the videos!) I thought I would take a moment to show you guys around, and explain a few things.

So! If you are here, you have found my website, congrats! There is a ton of information here for people of all sorts looking for information on the history of our Origins, or Human Origins – Paleoanthropology.

I am a Science Communicator, I am a Student, Husband, and soon to be Father. My goals, with my SciComm, is to educate on the world before, to learn as much about out past, and to take that knowledge, that sometimes difficult to understand and hard to digest knowledge and make it more digestible for anyone interested in learning. AKA the layman.

So much of the field is made for those in the field, not thinking of how to talk, how to bring others in and communicate.

Well that is why I am here!

Not only though my own studies, and coverage of news, discoveries, and announcements, I bring the experts to you!

How?

Well, in a couple of fun ways, as firstly, we have the website here, which you have all found, but there is also my social media sites which feature frequent updates, as well as my Youtube and Podcast accounts. Across Youtube and my Podcasts I have three, “Shows” or “Series” intended to bring the research as close to you as possible, to answer your burning questions, and involve you, whomever you are, in the field of Anthropology and Human Origins.

There is The Story of Us – Where I have about hour long chats with Professors, Researchers, Archaeologists, Authors and more who have made a name for themselves in the field, and we learn how they think, how they got to where they are in life professionally, and what makes their minds tick! Hear what it’s like to go to some of the Earth’s rarest, and hardest to reach places, or about tales of traversing near endless desert in search of ancient life. There is so much to offer just by listening to the stories of our fellow humans!

You can find that on Youtube

The next series, and I do think I have to say my favorite, is the weekly (or sometimes semi weekly depending on how the week goes!) Podcast, the PaleoPost Podcast, originally featuring Ice Age Geometric Sign Expert Genevieve von Petzinger, and myself, but now co-hosted with Dr. George Nash, we talk about all things going on in the paleo world, with a focus on ancient arts and culture! If there is anything going on in the news, you can expect to hear us taking a deep dive into it during that weeks episode, and if its a calm week, listen to wonderful anecdotes of the stories of the search for ancient rock art around the world with the First Art Team!

Finally, but surely not least, we have Cave Art 101, hosted by the World of Paleoanthropology but presented by the wonderful Genevieve von Petzinger, we collected and answered the communities most interesting questions on Rock Art in short Q/A form! There were some great questions asked, and so much information given, so be sure to check that out as well!

Beyond that, there is everything that you can find on the website, which grows, and is updated regularly!

As I always like to say, “There is always more to learn”, and I hope you take that to heart, and never leave this place without learning something new!

Remember, never stop exploring and never stop learning! There is always more to learn!
