Who is Seth Chagi?

Who am I?

I’m Seth Chagi—paleoanthropologist, science communicator, and founder of the World of Paleoanthropology. My passion lies in unraveling the story of our shared human origins and making this knowledge engaging and accessible to everyone through compelling articles, dynamic videos, and interactive experiences. As the enthusiastic host of the #PaleoPostPodcast and creator of the popular YouTube series “The Story of Us,” I love bringing the wonders of our ancient past vividly to life.

Grounded in the philosophies of Stoicism and Humanism, I approach both my work and personal life with resilience, empathy, and curiosity, continuously striving for growth and balance. These principles guide my mission to foster a deeper understanding of humanity’s journey and our interconnectedness with nature and each other.

Beyond my professional pursuits, I’m deeply committed to education and inclusivity. My experience as a certified behavioral analyst has allowed me to support and uplift children, particularly those on the autism spectrum, helping them build confidence and emotional resilience. Through interactive workshops, I aim to ignite curiosity and a lifelong passion for science in young learners.

Leveraging expertise in social media and digital storytelling, I craft engaging content designed to promote scientific literacy and foster a vibrant community of curious minds.

My goal is simple yet profound: inspire individuals of all ages to explore the rich tapestry of our human heritage, nurture a love for discovery, and contribute meaningfully to the ongoing conversation about our past, present, and collective future.

I am availalble for in person, and virtual events, to help facilitate and spread awarness on our shared Human Origins. If you are interetsted, please contact me at worldofpaleoanthropology@gmail.com for more information.

I am a Paleoanthropology Student, so far with two degrees, in Anthropology and Human Behavioral Science, pursuing my B.A and then my PhD I love to read (like a lot) and write, I love my family, and I adore anthropology! Remember, never stop exploring and never stop learning! There is always more to learn!

  1. This is a fantastic self-introduction! It conveys your passion and dedication beautifully. Here are some comments, broken down for clarity:
    Strengths:

    • Clear Identity: You’ve clearly established yourself as a dedicated Paleoanthropology student with a solid academic foundation.
    • Passion and Enthusiasm: Your love for reading, writing, and anthropology shines through. Phrases like “love to read (like a lot)” and “adore anthropology!” are very effective.
    • Emphasis on Lifelong Learning: “Never stop exploring and never stop learning! There is always more to learn!” is a powerful and inspiring statement, reflecting a true academic spirit.
    • Concise yet Informative: You’ve managed to pack a lot of information into a short space without feeling rushed.
    • Personal Touch: Mentioning your family adds a warm, personal element.
    • Strong Academic Background: Mentioning your two degrees, and your current pursuit of a BA and then a PhD, shows great academic drive.
      Possible Enhancements (Optional, depending on context):
    • Specific Interests: If you’re sharing this in a specific context (e.g., a research forum, a blog), you could briefly mention specific areas of Paleoanthropology that fascinate you. For example, “I’m particularly interested in early hominin tool use and its implications for cognitive evolution.”
    • Writing Focus: If you plan to share your writing, you could mention the types of writing you enjoy (e.g., academic papers, creative nonfiction, popular science articles).
    • Research Goals: If you have any preliminary research goals for your PhD, you could briefly allude to them. This can spark interest and potential collaborations.
      Overall:
      Your introduction is excellent! It’s engaging, informative, and reflects your genuine enthusiasm for your field. Your passion for learning and exploration is evident, which is a valuable trait in any academic pursuit.
      Example of incorporating some enhancements:
      “I am a Paleoanthropology student, with degrees in Anthropology and Human Behavioral Science, currently pursuing my B.A. and then my PhD. I’m particularly fascinated by the intersection of genetics and skeletal morphology in early hominins. I love to read (especially scientific literature and historical accounts), and I enjoy writing both academic papers and popular science articles. My family is a great source of support, and I adore anthropology! Remember, never stop exploring and never stop learning! There is always more to learn!”

  2. Hi Seth,

    I’m preparing a PowerPoint presentation for my granddaughter’s 8th grade science class on evolution, natural selection, genes, and human evolution. I teach these subjects to undergrade students at Southern New Hampshire University and am quite comfortable with the information. I’ve just about completed the slides and talking note, and I was wondering if you have any advice on how to make the presentation not only educational but interesting. How do I engage the students?

    Namaste,
    m.

    1. The best way that I have found to reach children, especially if that age is to relate to them they do not see the world for the larger picture that it is they see what is in front of them, which there’s nothing wrong with that of course during that age, we want them to enjoy their childhood but in order for them to see bigger picture ideas like evolution and human origins where we come from, etc. I find that we need to make them have fun with the information and to relate to it and see how it is part of the everyday lives even in the small aspects And how they can see evolution within themselves
