Document Summary

Dc 1350, 1351: william g. davis computer research centre. Similar to previous, that is: multiple choice, fill in the blank, short answer. We have covered a great deal of ground. Thematic course: touching on what anthropology has been, how the field came into being, classic studies, current studies, and how the field is transforming today. What is anthropology: a social science that studies the diversity of humankind, past and present. History of anthropology: particularly the founding work of franz boas, and the striking transition brought into place by malinowski, trobriand. Not the only method, but a key one. Particularly the differences seen among foraging peoples: how their life is structured so differently from ours, small groups, focused on mobility, non-hierarchical. At times, more passive, cooperative, e. g. inuit. How agricultural peoples are organized differently: and how surplus production affects social organization (is key to transition) extensive agriculture, urban life made possible.
