Question

I want to be an anthropologist. what should i start taking in high school?

Answer 1

You should start by taking notice and correcting mistakes in your writing before submitting your paper. IE, ' I ' is always a capital letter, no matter where it is situated in your paper.

Answer 2

It really depends on the kind of Anthropology you are interested in. If you're interested in physical Anthropology you should be taking Biology. If you're interested in the cultural aspects, Psychology is useful if your high school offers it. If Archaeology is what you are interested in you could take history courses. The most important thing to do is take Biology if you want to take physical Anthropology, otherwise it's not vital to take any certain ones.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 3

English is vital, biology as your science and maths. Anything else is filler, but history and geography would be a good idea.

Answer 4

Since Anthropology is a social science it probably would be a good idea to gain as much knowledge in social science as possible.  Subjects like history, economics, civics, psychology and sociology will provide you with a basic knowledge about a lot of the same topics you will learn in your undergrad studies in Anthropology.   If you're lucky enough to have the opportunity to do joint enrollment then look into taking some intro to anthropology classes.  But pretty much since anthropology deals with "community" and the interaction between people  and how they live (either in the past or the present) it would be good to know the basic information concerning government, economics, religion and psychology.  Good luck with your studies.

Answer 5

Along with the other suggestions: Latin, world history, mythology, world religions, and other languages.

Answer 6

You can't start studying anthropology until you get to college. You could start reading books on anthropology.

Answer 7

Anthropology can require a lot of writing, so take a lot of English, especially composition courses.

Take some evolutionary biology, especially if you want to be a biological anthropologist, but even if not, I think all anthropologists have to have some sort of understanding of it.

If your school offers classes in sociology, take those, because it emphasizes the importance of culture.

Do dual enrollment and take intro anthro classes at your local university or community college.

Have fun:)
