Document Summary
Cohen (1989) discusses prehistoric skeletons as a source of evidence about standards of living. Describe the kinds of information that can typically be obtained from this source. Then use the evidence presented by cohen to compare standards of living for (a) mobile hunter-gatherers; (b) sedentary hunter-gatherers; (c) early farmers; and (d) the residents of early cities. We have seen a number of societies with warfare, including the northwest coast, hawaii, the yanomamo, the tsembaga maring, and the central enga. Choose two of these cases, and describe each society"s natural environment, food technology, social organization and warfare practices. For each case, briefly discuss whether the warfare model developed by. Dow, mitchell, and reed (2015) does or does not help to explain warfare in that society. Consider the dow and reed (2013) article on the origins of inequality.
