ANTH 102

Using a thematic approach, this course explores what defines the human species. Some of the themes explored may include human evolution and our primate biological kin; archaeology and digging for the past; culture in a global world; communication or the essentials of being a talking and increasingly texting primate; health as social and biological; production and consumption, from the first stone tools to the Big Mac; and other topics that deal with humanity past and contemporary.
