  • ANTH 5340: Paleoethnobotany

    4.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    Paleoethnobotany is the study of plant remains from archaeological sites and how people in the past utilized plants. Several kinds of information can be derived from archaeological plant remains, including subsistence strategies, past diets, plant domestication, environmental change and social differentiation. This class introduces you to the methods and applications of paleoethnobotany, including macro- and microbotanical remains. You will develop a comprehensive understanding of paleoethnobotany, learning how archaeologists, paleontologist and forensic anthropologists use plant remains to inform them of past human behavior and environmental conditions. Graduate students will have an additional assignment proposing a project that applies paleoethnobotany to an archaeological problem of interest to them. Prerequisites: ANTH 1010 OR ANTH 1020 OR ANTH 1030 OR ANTH 1050

  • ANTH 5451: Human Physical Activity

    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    Humans engage in a marvelous diversity of physical activities, from running marathons, to ballet dancing, to fingerpicking guitars. Such activities are not only beautiful, but also characterize who we are as a species. Today, human physical activity is also among the strongest determinants of our health and longevity. The course considers the evolutionary factors underlying how and why humans use our bodies the ways we do, and why differences between past and present human physical activity patterns may be causing our bodies to malfunction and suffer from illnesses that our ancestors managed to avoid. The course draws from a wide variety of scientific disciplines, including paleoanthropology, behavioral ecology, comparative biology, exercise physiology, biomechanics, and medicine to address critical questions such as: ' If exercise is so good for you, why do so many people dislike or avoid it? ' Is it bad to slouch? Are humans comparatively slow and weak? ' Is exercise ineffective for losing weight? ' Does running ruin your knees? ' How much does exercise affect our vulnerability to cancer or infectious disease?
