Short presentation


Hi, my name is Thomas Püschel R. and I'm 21 years old. Although I was born in Stgo., my family is from Frutillar, so I lived there several years. However, when I was 5, we moved to Stgo. because my dad's work. Anyway, I live in Colina, so the change from the country to the city wasn't too hard, because my house's courtyard is large and I have a lot of different trees, flowers, crops, dogs and cats. (I actually have 2 dogs; Kika the golden retriever and Maxi the labrador puppy).

I study physical anthropology at the University of Chile and I really love it ( I can't imagine myself studing anything else). Physical anthropology or biological anthropology, is the branch of anthropology that studies basically the human biological evolution and the complex connection between human biology and culture. In this sense, physical anthropology studies humans with a strong biocultural perspective. This discipline has many sub-branches, like primatology (the study of primates), paleoanthropology (the study of the fossil record of hominids and their relatives), human ecology (the study of human adaptations and its relationship with the enviroment), osteology (the study of skeletal material), forensic anthropology ( the analysis and identification of human remains in crime scenes), paleopathology (the study of ancient diseases), bioarchaeology (the study of human skeletal remains that come from archaeological contexts), etc. I like them all, but the branches that I prefer the most are bioarchaeology and paleopathology.

In other hand, my hobbies are basically playing the bass and reading. I also enjoy playing soccer and chating with friends. My preferences about music and literature are very diverse. For example, I like Rock, Metal, Classic, Funk, Grunge, some Hip Hop, etc., so I prefer to say wich bands or singers I like rather than explain what kind of music I enjoy.

Well, that's all! Now you know a little more about me.
