About Wild Knowledge

Hi fellaz, I'm Peter M., and I want you to join me on a hunt for wild knowledge, the best of games ! Our gear : social sciences. Each episode presents a short scientific analysis or give some essential facts on a given topic. Is anthropology useless? How can human languages contain so many different (and weird) sounds? Is art gendered? Is there a future for anarchy after all? I'll try to give answers to these untamed questions, with nothing else but my PhD...and untimely comments and wise cracks from movies of yore.

   Anthropology : still zingy ?

   Anthropology is the scientific art of hanging out with people...and that takes time. In a world of quick changes where knowledge takes the form of two-minutes reading online articles and 15 minutes podcasts, is it still sexy? Let's put it bluntly : what is the point of anthropology anyway ?
