ANT 200 Lecture Notes - Lecture 14: Omnivore, Endocrine System, Natural Selection
Document Summary
Distinction between emotion as a cascade that changes our physiology, and feeling: body as an overall kind of state. Tomasello: experimental work/observations of chimpanzees: vocalizations and gestures as part of intentional communication. Distinguished from something broken: adapt behaviorally from terrestrial extractive niche. Regular use of campfires: cooking food (nonindustrial groups ways of boiling water) Circumstantial cases for things we can"t directly see. Site: right on shore of the lake/aquatic animals. Hides: herd fish into more shallow parts of shore. Oldest site: direct traces of plant foods our omnivorous ancestors were gathering/processing/consuming. Water chesnut species( much more common in east asia) Various kinds of nuts as well: covers different kinds of fatty plant tissues. Some of the other chimps looking at crowns of trees. Humans: go beyond scope of what they really see. Part of long term process: natural selection: bigger brains. Access some plant foods/omnivorous resources a few steps away.
