ANT 230I - Hunters and Gatherers

Institution:

University of Southern Maine

Subject:

Description:

Hunting and gathering is a way of life, not simply a subsistence technique. Ninety-nine percent of human evolutionary history involved this kind of life, and our biology as a species was created through this mode of existence. In this ethnographically oriented course we will study several huntergatherer societies including the Ju'/hoansi, the Mbuti, the Australian aborigines, and the Inuit. Special attention will be given to understanding the traditional life and world view of hunter- gatherers, but we will also focus on how recent political and economic events are changing their lives.
