Hi!
The post of this week is about a very useful website that is related to my career. The website is American Journal of Physical Anthropology. This journal was founded in 1918 by Aleš Hrdlička, an Austro-Hungarian anthropologist eradicated in the United States, and it has been fundamental in the development of this discipline.
In this peer-reviewed scientific journal you can find not only the most recent publications but also the oldest ones, so it is a valuable website to know how the trends on research topics in Biological Anthropology have varied.
The online version of this journal has different sections to help accessing to information and papers.
I usually visit this website every month but sometimes I use it more frequently because I have to look for references about certain topics. In that matter, I like that this website has a good search engine because it makes it easier to find what one needs. Futhermore, in my opinion, this is a good website since it allows me to access to study topics of my interest such as human and non-human evolution and variation.

In the photo I was standing in the middle of a hanging bridge, looking at the camera and smiling.    I really love this picture because it was a very special moment in my life. The day before when it was taken, we went to Huerquehue national park and we did the San Sebastian trail, one of the most difficult routes because it is necessary walk a long distance (almost 7 km) and hike in the last part of the trail. In the beginning I think I can´t able to finish this route, my heart was  violently  beating. Anyway, I don´t know how but finally I can reach the top of the hills. The view of the volcanos, araucaria forest and lakes of the surroundings was amazing.   When I come back to the place where I was staying, I can...

Body Positive

-
Hi everyone! Today I want to write about "body positive". This new trend on social media aims to make people adopt more positive attitudes towards their bodies, improving self-steem regarding their own image, regardless of the shape, characteristic or size, and valuing their unique identity. This movement has gained more popularity in recent years because both, unknown and famous people, have promoted and put into discussion this important topic. Although it is women who have historically been oppressed by having to satisfy canons of beauty and behavior, this phenomenon is intended to embrace all people who have been discriminated because of their bodies making them hate how they look. I think it is necessary to promote perspectives that help people to love and accept their bodies even when every body is different, however I believe that this movement has been used in an advertising way. A case that exemplifies this is the current advertising of WOM, which a few years ago ...
