American anthropologist Margaret Mead was a born leader, skillful writer, powerful teacher and brilliant environmentalist. She paved the way for a greater understanding of humanity. Her desire to learn stemmed mostly for her desire to both teach and reach people. As an anthropologist who studied amongst some of the finest, her acute attention to her surroundings and desire to learn the finest details made a significant impact not only in her field but in the lives of those that she studied and in turn taught. Mead’s connection to both humans and the Earth we inhabit enhanced her understanding of just how unique we are and yet, very much the same.
