ANTH 44100: Foundations in Biological Anthropology: The Human Animal

University of Notre Dame
This paper examines the human species in a broad comparative perspective with two themes.

Material will be drawn from genetics, morphology, and socio-ecology. Companion course to ANTH 34780

ANTH 44103: Evolution Human Life History
3.00 Credits
University of Notre Dame
The aim of the course is to explore aspects of human life cycles and their diversity from the perspective of life history theory, which interprets components of the life cycle such as gestation, growth and senescence as adaptations moulded by natural selection. Using mammals and primates as a comparative basis, the course discusses possible explanations for the unique features of human life history such as slow growth, large brain, extended longevity, as well as the origins and evolution of these traits in human ancestors: from Australopithecines to neanderthals. The course also explores the diversification of life history traits according to new selective pressures, after the origin of modern humans. Companion course to ANTH 34783.

ANTH 44104: Cultural Primatology
3.00 Credits
University of Notre Dame
Short of inventing a time machine, we can never know directly the origins of cultural evolution in our ancestors, but indirectly we can study our nearest living relations as models. Against a background of non-primate (cetaceans, birds) culture, we can look at its breadth (extent across taxa) and depth (complexity) in apes and monkeys. We will focus on the what (phenomenology), when (archaeology), who (especially macaques, capuchins, and great apes), how (transmission mechanisms), and why (adaptation) of cultural primatology in nature and in captivity, by observation and experimentation. Companion course to ANTH 34784.

Studying gender in cultures throughout the world, the course will cover the diversity of the cultural construction of gender. It will look at the material division of labor, power, and property between the sexes, and the idea of gender being understood as a symbolic system. Societies examined include the Aborigines, Trobriand Islanders, contemporary Morocco, and the Andean peoples of Peru and Bolivia. It looks at both at the roles of both men and women across different cultures and the recent concern with gender as one of a multiplicity of differences that upset the centrality of cultural difference in traditional anthropology. The course will also specifically look at the cultural construction of gender in contemporary 'western' society.
