Subject:

Description:

This course is a biocultural examination of the relationship between food, human health, and society in past and present populations. Food is a fundamental link between human biology and culture; the great diversity of human food preferences, aversions, and avoidance is rooted in both of these domains. The objective of this course is to consider some of this diversity, and to try to achieve some understanding, within an evolutionary paradigm, of the causes and consequences of our food habits. Offered concurrently with ANT 4537; graduate students will be assigned additional work.
