What is Anthro? It’s short for Anthropology.
(No, not the store.)
Project Anthro is a collective channel featuring documentary style episodics that portray all that makes us human. In addition to that, the project focuses on our impact during our current epoch—the Anthropocene— a period now commonly defined as a time in which humans control or affect almost every element of the earth, from geology and ecosystems to climate. You may find an array of series under Project Antrho. Anything from crafting beer in Germany to the cohabitation between humans and wildlife in ecotourism hot spots. Everything on the channel will have an anthropological approach with an exploration and discovery delivery. We’re here to document the world in its rawest form to give you the cleanest outlook on language, thought, culture, the environment, adventure, and knowledge.
