ANTH 1210 - 91L
T. Guenther
Central Wyoming College
This course is a broad survey of human biological and cultural evolution. It examines the relationships between humans and their environments, in other words, how climate has affected human experience and culture through time and around the globe. The course uses a holistic, anthropological perspective to examine how hunter-gatherers, agriculturalists, and industrial societies have tried to adapt to and control climate and food production through religion and technology. Global climate is currently changing at an unprecedented rate which is problematic as culture is conservative and resistant to change. Wild fluctuations in temperature and precipitation, catastrophic storms and melting ice caps present us with increasingly difficult and costly challenges. (3 lect.)
