Dr. Sari is an anthropologist who graduated from the University of Aleppo and then moved to Japan to get his Master's and Ph.D. from the University of Tsukuba in Japan. Now, he is doing his 2nd postdoc at the University of Tsukuba after finishing his first postdoc at the University of Tokyo. In today's episode, we go through a lot of interesting subjects that revolve around anthropology and its relation to our current time, some practices that our ancestors used to make, and some interesting findings of some of the things we use on a daily bases.
