This is a general survey of the biological and cultural origins and development of human beings and their cultures. Based on archaeology, physical anthropology, cultural anthropology, and linguistics, this course emphasizes human adaptation through both biological and cultural evolution. Students will learn the four interrelated subfields of anthropology, have a broader perspective of how complex and diverse humans are over time, to question and understand the world through the lens of culture, and to recognize self as a global citizen.
By investigating what is culture and how culture influences our lives, students will gain an appreciation and understanding of the differences and similarities in diverse societies including their own. Students will learn how to view other societies holistically, comparatively, and to see things from others’ point of view. By gaining an appreciation of cultural differences, students in this class will also be more knowledgeable and better prepared for future multicultural experiences.
This course combines discussion of an overview of larger theoretical trends in cultural anthropology and provides an introduction to “doing” ethnography through the study and practice of fieldwork.

The course will be a seminar-style class in which students will discuss the various theoretical trends in archaeology and the analytical methodologies used in artifact interpretations. Students will also receive training in historic period artifact identification.
