Space Anthropology...Part 2

Space Anthropology involves combining the fields of Anthropology and Space Science. If you are wondering how Anthropology can be helpful to the Space Sciences, then maybe this poster will help explain! The poster was created in honor of World Anthropology Day 2016, which was held earlier this month on February 18th.

This year's poster is: "So, You Want to Plan a Mission to Space...Part 2"

Be sure to check out last year's poster for Part 1! (Look under the blog post label "Space Anthropology")

Anthropologist's Note: Anthropology can be applied to many fields, not just the Space Sciences! There is a whole category of Anthropologists, called "Applied Anthropologists" who apply Anthropology to other fields of study and use their anthropological knowledge to solve everyday problems. For example, there are Business Anthropologists and Medical Anthropologists. In fact, I was trained as a Medical Anthropologist, and became interested in applying Anthropology to the Space Sciences when I discovered the field of Space Medicine!
