Document Summary
Holistic study of humankind and their closest relatives through space and time. Not climate change, but weird weather we are having on the eastern shore papers. Adaptations our bodies have to cold for example, we would shiver to get blood flowing and warm up muscles by contracting and relaxing. Not just humans, but food sources and animals. Fossils in the past were different, gives us an idea of what conditions they were in and how their conditions caused them to lose or gain certain structures. Study of past cultures and material remains. Changes in food, changes in social structure the way that people move depending on the environment they live in, how they interpret changes in the environment today. Sociocultural anthropology looking at cultures and societies, asking them how climate changes has affected their ability to do their jobs and live their livelihoods. Awareness to how other cultures are responding/adapting to climate change, how it is affecting their agriculture.
