Time travel to the past

If I have the opportunity to travel across time, I would choose to go to the past, specifically to early times at the beginning of human life. I would like to go to Africa, where the first Homo sapiens appeared, because I am curious about the environment and conditions where we evolved. 

To say a specific time, I would say two hundred thousand years ago in the Rift Valley, which is in East Africa. It's supposed that in the pleistocene it would be cold and with a flora and fauna very different from the current one. It would probably be a dangerous place to stay if I didn't go with the appropriate equipment.

For the above reasons, I wouldn't like to stay there very much. I don't know if I would survive if I did as well, jaja. Maybe I would walk a little bit, breathe the fresh air and see if the reality of that age is like the modern theories say.

I would like to see a human settlement to see the way of life, the tools and infrastructure where they live. More than intervene or interact, I would like to travel there to satisfy my curiosity about the origin of our species, so I'll be sure to keep that moment in my memory and then leave.

A job I would like to have in the future: Archaeologist

I signed in to the anthropology major at this university because of the specialization in archeology. I have always admired that job, especially for the practice part of digging up in archaeological sites. I don't care about a specific work, because archeology has a big laboral field, I like the discipline in general.

The job of an archeologist consists of studying the materiality related to human intervention. They work on the sites doing outdoor work and also complement the investigations with theoretical and historiographic information. 

Personally, I want to do this job because it combines two things I like very much, which are working outdoors and being a humanistic discipline where I can learn about different cultures. I would never support a monotonous job!

I think I would like to do the work because I love the practice subjects I have had about this speciality, because I can make a lot of conclusions by only seeing a piece of pottery, a paleolithic tool or a bone. 

To close, the skills and abilities I think will be useful for this kind of work are being observant, meticulous and investigative to produce accurate and pertinent knowledge.
