| ANTH 151 provides a uniquely long-term perspective on the emergence and global development of humanity over the last 5 million years. This course introduces students to the fossil record of human biological evolution and the archaeology of culture in the world prior to ca. AD 1500. Topics we examine include (but are not limited to): the development of technology, language, and sociopolitical institutions. We will also consider the origins of plant and animal domestication, the genesis of cities and urbanism, and the political and ecological consequences of human impact on the natural environment. |
