ANTH 4302

ANTH 4302 Human Ecology (3-0). This course examines the dynamic interplay between humans and the environment. Students will draw from ethnographic studies of recent and contemporary cultures to understand cultural adaptations and changes across global environmental settings, from Arctic tundra to shifting sands of the Sahara. Ethnographic examples provide analogs to then trace ancient ecologies from hunter-gatherer exploitation of plant and animal resources to the environmental impacts around ancient city states.
