Description:

Prerequisite: ANTH 1105, 1106, 1145, or 5175; ENVS 1105 or ENVS 6207; or Departmental approval. This course explores how societies in the past have not only adapted to their environments, but how they have manipulated and transformed their ecosystems, and how these processes in turn have shaped economic, demographic, political, social, and ideological, aspects of human populations. Using both case studies and theoretical literature, we will examine the emergence and history of ecological thinking in anthropology, the development of various theoretical approaches, and major controversies, many of which remain unresolved today.
