  • SOAN 320: World Prehistory

    3.00 Credits
    Truman State University

    Archaeologists have noted that there are many similarities in cultural sequences - a period of mobile hunting and gathering, followed by intensified hunting and gathering, agricultural villages and later more complex societies. Despite the similarities, there are huge differences in the lengths of time occupied by each of these phases in archaeological sequences. Why is the transition to agriculture more rapid in some areas than in others? What about the transition to complex societies? In this class we will study patterns of cultural change in world prehistory (especially during the last 20-30,000 years) and build a framework for explaining the variability that has been documented. Along the way, we will explore the relationship between science and history. Credits: 3 hours NOTE: General Honors Course. NOTE: This course counts toward the 63-hour Liberal Arts and Sciences (LAS) graduation requirement. NOTE: Some sections of this course are writing-enhanced.
