Is it inevitable that homo sapiens will one day be extinct?
Don't debate me.

I've always found this stuff super interesting. I'm thinking of going to college and I'm considering taking some courses on this. Do you think they get into this kind of deep stuff like ancient civilizations in college or do they stick to more vanilla stuff?

They most certainly do not. They don't even get into the cool confirmed "lost civilizations" like Tocharians. Blond-haired, blue-eyed pyramid builders in western china that used marijuana.

Antropology is an extremely leftist field, which is unfortunate, cause it is also really interesting.
I suppose archeology is not quite as pozzed, but it has a lot of "wag the dog" level arguments.
History probably has more room for more right wing/conservative oriented students, cause it's more difficult to deny the written word. They do try though, their favorite is to claim all antique history writing to be "symbolic or myth". Then when someone actually takes it as truth, they stumble upon Troy for example.
