Human society has changed drastically in the last 10,000 years. For 90 percent of our (pre)history, humankind lived in small, egalitarian bands of hunter-gatherers. Since then, social groupings have grown larger and more economically and socially diverse. Why these changes have occurred is one of the great questions in anthropology and history. This class will explore the rise of complex societies, comparing early complex societies in the Old World and the New World.

This course covers principles of social organization, in societies ranging from small-scale to the modern global system and across a variety of culture areas. In the course, we are concerned with the classic anthropological topics of sex and gender, family systems, kinship and marriage, and with how these are entangled with other aspects of human sociality ' with making a living, distributing necessities and luxuries, submitting to authority and resisting it, and communing with the sacred. Students will learn about the building blocks that human beings use to construct their social systems, and how different societies assemble these building blocks in different configurations.
