manthropology

The study of the dating practices of the human male, especially as they relate to other aspects of male existence. Subsets include cultural manthropology (what happens during guys' nights out),linguistic manthropology (what it means when they say they want to "take a break"), malecheology (study of items found in closets and under beds after they "clean up" the apartment), and physical manthropology (things they insist their last girlfriend totally enjoyed
doing).
As a dedicated student of manthropology, Barbara could tell
that Jack's insistence he pay for dinner had less to do with chivalry than with his desire to impress the waitress who, as he kept noting, had a rad tattoo.

I was going to be an anthropologist, but then I realized I hate humans. So instead I decided to study misanthropology. Fuck all of you.

Anthropology

A fascinating subject of humanity. Unfortunately, however, humans who study this usually have absolutely no job and are greatly swallowed in debt.
Yeah, anthropology is interesting, but I can't say that I would be comfortable with living in a box.

ethnocultural neo-anthropology

a new sub-branch of cultural anthropology
ethnocultural neo-anthropology should be devoted to answering the sole question of whether or not decolonized people in Third World countries can, without either immigrating to the Western World or financial help from the United Nations, historically, economically, and socially develop along Western lines using their own cultural and religious markers that they had prior to the beginnings of colonialism, i.e. prior to 1469 (the marriage of Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castille. I think the answer is yes.
