ANTH 2460 - Early Cultures of the Old World

Institution:

New College of Florida

Subject:

Anthropology

Description:

This course offers an intensive survey of Old World Prehistory, from the end of the Paleolithic (Old Stone Age) to the emergence of civilization. We will focus on several topics, though specifically on the processes that led to 1) the spread of modern humans, 2) the origins of food production, and 3) the development of regional cultures. We will examine these issues through case studies and surveys in Africa, Europe, and Asia, and, in the last section of the course we will review the prehistory of the Pacific. Special emphasis will be placed on the past and present theoretical interpretations of the significance, causes, and effects of these processes. No prerequisites, limited to 15.
