Videos on anthropology?

A friend of mine asked me for good videos on anthropology. I'm at a complete loss. I have several good youtube channels for history, but finding anthropology-related content is surprisingly difficult.

Any recommendations?

    Quickly looking through my subscriptions, the only YouTube channels I know of that feature anthropology videos don't focus on it exclusively, since they are mostly random documentary channels (e.g. TimeLine, Absolute History, DW Documentary, BBC Documentary, etc.), or are University channels with lectures (e.g. Yale Courses, Standford, MIT OpenCourseWare, University of Oxford, etc.) or Museum channels (e.g. The British Museum, Penn Museum, American Museum of Natural History, etc.). But all of those would likely require some digging to find anthropology specific videos amidst all the others, and I would be hard pressed to recommend any specific videos myself.

    As for individual videos, shows, documentaries, etc., unfortunately like you, history (military history specifically), natural history, and archeology are more my jam, so I can't really help much there either. Sorry. :(

    p.s. Even though anthropology is technically a social science, I moved this to ~humanities since there is some crossover between them and we don't actually have a ~socialscience or anthropology specific group yet.
