Document Summary
Anth 203 midterm 1 study notes - chapter 1 & 2. Science is comparative and we require variation in order to observe in what conditions phenomena appear: science is distinguished in three ways: What we want to know, why it was established in the first place, what part of reality are we examining. The angle at which it approaches a subject or the attitude it adopts towards it. The specific data-gathering activities it practices in order to apply its perspective or to answer questions. Examine the actual anatomical remains of past humans. Primatology: the study of physical and behavioural characteristics of the species called primates: archaeology: the study of the diversity of human behaviour in the past. Examine the things that people left behind. Artifacts: portable objects that people made and used (ie. pottery, clothing, jewellery, tools, weapons) Features: larger, immovable objects (ie. buildings, walls, monuments, canals, roads, farms)
