Early Man
This power point discusses the origins of early man and his migration. It incorporates a few YouTube videos and talking points to enhance additional data on the slides.
Beast To Best Friend Research Paper
The document discusses the domestication of animals and how it led to the development of early civilizations. It explains that domestication of animals and plants, having a surplus of food and resources, and specialization of labor were the three essential elements that allowed civilizations to form. It provides examples of how these elements contributed to ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilizations. Specialization of labor allowed for division of jobs beyond just farming, and those in power would control distribution of surplus food.
The Neolithic Revolution
The Neolithic Revolution began around 12,000 BCE as some humans transitioned from nomadic hunter-gatherer lifestyles to more sedentary agricultural societies, settling in permanent villages. This was driven by climate change, food scarcity, and increasing populations. Early sites included the Zagros Mountains where animals like cows, pigs, sheep, and goats were domesticated. Farming allowed for surplus food and more complex, hierarchical societies to emerge with specialized workers, social classes, governments, religions, and other institutions, leading to early civilizations in places like Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, and China along major river valleys.
Anthropology And The Study Of Culture
Anthropology is the study of humanity, both past and present, and is divided into four main fields: biological/physical anthropology, archaeology, linguistic anthropology, and cultural anthropology. Biological anthropology studies humans as biological organisms and evolution, archaeology studies past cultures through material remains, linguistic anthropology examines human communication and language, and cultural anthropology focuses on contemporary cultures and cultural variation and change. Some argue for a fifth field of applied anthropology which uses anthropological knowledge to address real-world problems.
Big History
This document discusses several topics related to human history and migration patterns. It describes how Spencer Wells used DNA analysis to trace human migration out of Africa to other parts of the world. It also discusses the causes of a major volcanic eruption around 1500 years ago that disrupted civilizations worldwide. Additionally, it examines the theories presented in Guns, Germs and Steel about why some human groups developed agriculture and technologies more quickly than others, giving them advantages when they encountered other groups.
Hd Chap 2rev
The document discusses key evidence and theories regarding human evolution from the earliest hominids to Homo habilis. It describes debates between paleoanthropologists over classifying species and the importance of discoveries in Africa by researchers like Robert Broom in establishing the continent as the cradle of humanity. The environment around 2.5 million years ago is cited as sparking the emergence of Homo habilis, who had a larger brain and used stone tools to access bone marrow, aiding survival.
Zoological Archaeology_M.A. Sem. II_Material Remains - Copy.ppt
This document discusses the analysis of non-artifactual remains such as botanical and zoological remains in archaeological studies. It notes that such remains can provide insights into past agricultural practices, food sources, environmental conditions, and religious beliefs and rituals. The document outlines how archaeozoologists study animal remains to understand relationships between humans and animals, including diet, the environment, technology, and the role of animals in economic and social systems. It also discusses the multi-disciplinary nature of faunal studies and the variety of direct and indirect evidence used, such as bones, isotopes, genetics, and historical documents.
Big history
The document discusses the evolution of human curiosity and our constant drive to understand the world through exploration, questioning beliefs, and improving upon existing ideas. It explores how genetic studies trace the origins of humans back to Africa and how different groups migrated and evolved distinctive traits. The document also examines theories about catastrophic events changing the global climate and causing societal disruptions, as well as how geography helped some civilizations develop agriculture and immunity to diseases, allowing them to conquer others. Globalization began with Columbus' voyage, and agricultural goods from the Americas created national identities while also enabling slavery and powering the Industrial Revolution through profits.

Finally, it outlines impacts of the Columbian Exchange between the Old and New Worlds, including the introduction of new crops and diseases.
Chapter 1 Toward Civilization
This document provides an overview of how historians and anthropologists study early human societies. It discusses how geography is linked to history and how the study of artifacts can provide insights into past cultures. A key development was the Neolithic agricultural revolution, when humans transitioned from nomadic hunter-gatherers to settled farmers. This allowed for surplus food production and the emergence of early civilizations along major river valleys, with defining characteristics like cities, governments, religions, and writing. Civilizations further spread and changed over time through conquest, environmental changes, and cultural diffusion between groups.
Anthropology
This document provides an overview of the field of anthropology. It begins by defining anthropology as the study of human beings and all aspects of human life and culture. It then discusses the main fields of anthropology including cultural, linguistic, archaeological, physical, and forensic anthropology. The document outlines some of the key contributors to the development of anthropology as a field and discusses modern directions in anthropological theory and research. It concludes by noting that anthropology has become a diverse field that examines both traditional and modern cultures around the world.
Rise of Agriculture and Food Domestication
The document discusses the origins and rise of agriculture and food domestication. It describes how agriculture began as people transitioned from hunter-gatherer lifestyles during the Paleolithic and Mesolithic periods, around 10,000 years ago. Various theories are presented for what motivated this transition, such as climate change, population pressure, or the desire for a more sedentary lifestyle. The document then discusses the origins of agriculture in different regions, including the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Asia, and Americas. It provides details on early domestication of plants and animals in these areas beginning as early as 12,000 years ago.
The discovery of agriculture
This paper is written to question the wide spread belief among anthropologists that pre historic hunter gatherers knew about agriculture long before agriculture began to be practiced. The paper suggests gradually accumulating human knowledge led to the development of agriculture, rather than population pressure, favourable mutations or convenient climate all of which would have occurred at various times long before agriculture was developed without leading to the discovery of agriculture.
Group project.traceypercifield.unit3group
1) The document discusses how various cultures migrated and their impacts. Africans who were brought to the US as slaves in the 1830s brought many traditions from West and Central Africa, including food dishes, music, language, and more.
2) It also examines the migrations and impacts of Chinese, Indian, and European cultures. The Europeans largely dominated global trade and cultural exchanges through military conquest and religion.
3) Cultural exchanges between groups led to syncretism, where elements of different cultures blended together and new traditions emerged. This integration of cultures continues to influence societies today.
Early Man Notes
Early humans lived in nomadic hunter-gatherer clans, using stone tools and living in caves. Around 10,000 years ago, some groups transitioned to agriculture and settled in permanent villages along river valleys, where they could farm crops and domesticate animals. This led to population growth and specialization of labor, with some people becoming artisans, priests, or traders. River valleys like Mesopotamia and the Nile Valley became early centers of civilization.
Roach, "Liver and Opinions"
The document discusses Inuit food preferences and how eating organs and other nutrient-dense parts of animals was historically necessary for survival in the Arctic. It notes that Inuit viewed organs as both "meat" and "fruits and vegetables" due to their vitamin content. It questions whether Western preferences are influenced more by modern culture or whether people would gravitate towards more nutritious foods without those influences. During World War II, the U.S. government faced challenges encouraging Americans to consume organ meats and other parts previously seen as inedible due to wartime shortages. Research suggests that repeated exposure can help people grow to like new foods.
Chapter 1 GS9
Early humans like Homo habilis and Homo erectus developed tools and migrated throughout Africa and Eurasia. As humans like Homo sapiens emerged around 200,000 years ago, they began controlling fire, domesticating animals, and developing language and art. Around 12,000 years ago, the Agricultural Revolution began as humans transitioned to farming and created permanent settlements, leading to population growth and the rise of early civilizations with advanced cities, specialized workers, complex institutions, record keeping, and technology.
Pre-History To Rise Of Civilizations
The document discusses the emergence of early humans and civilizations from prehistory to the Neolithic Revolution. It describes key findings like "Lucy" that helped scientists understand the spread of Homo sapiens out of Africa. Early humans lived as nomadic hunter-gatherers during the Paleolithic Age, using simple stone tools. The Neolithic Revolution saw the development of farming and villages, leading to specialized jobs and the first civilizations like Catal Huyuk that exhibited organized governments and other complex social structures.
WH 1111, Human Origins and the Beginning of History
This document discusses the origins of human history, beginning with early hominins in Africa millions of years ago. Key developments that laid the foundations for modern humans included increased brain size, language, tool use, and gender roles. Around 200,000 years ago, Homo sapiens evolved in Africa and later migrated worldwide. Evidence suggests religion and culture predate recorded history. The Neolithic Revolution around 12,000 years ago marked the transition to agriculture and settlement, allowing larger human populations to form. Domestication of plants and animals in locations worldwide was a major part of this transition.
Unit 5 prehistory theory
Prehistory is divided into three main periods - the Palaeolithic, Neolithic, and Metal Ages. The Palaeolithic, which began over 2 million years ago, saw the emergence and evolution of early humans from primate ancestors in Africa. Key hominid species that developed over this time include Homo habilis, Homo erectus, Homo antecessor, Neanderthals, and Homo sapiens. Neanderthals and Homo sapiens existed side by side in Europe for thousands of years before Neanderthals went extinct. The Neolithic began around 9000 BC when early humans adopted agriculture and settled in villages. During the Metal Ages beginning around 5000 BC, humans began using
Prehistory
Prehistory spans from the emergence of early human ancestors around 5 million years ago until the development of writing around 5,000 years ago. It is divided into the Paleolithic, Neolithic and Metal Ages. Early humans like Australopithecus, Homo habilis and Homo erectus lived by hunting and gathering. During the Paleolithic period, humans lived nomadically in caves or huts and made tools from stone. In the Neolithic, agriculture was developed, allowing humans to settle permanently in villages along rivers. The Metal Ages began as humans learned to use copper, bronze and iron to make objects.
prehistory-160107201447 (3).pdf
Prehistory spans from the emergence of early human ancestors around 5 million years ago until the development of writing around 5,000 years ago. It is divided into the Palaeolithic Age (hunting and gathering), Neolithic Age (beginning of agriculture and settlements), and Metal Ages (use of metals). Early humans like Australopithecus walked upright, while later species such as Homo erectus, Homo sapiens, and Neanderthals used tools and fire. In the Neolithic, agriculture emerged, allowing people to settle permanently in villages along rivers. Megalithic structures like stone circles and dolmens were also constructed during this time.
Unit 1 lesson 2
1. The document discusses early human life from prehistory to the rise of civilizations. It describes key findings that helped scientists understand early humans, such as discoveries by Louis and Mary Leakey and Donald Johanson.
2. During the Paleolithic Age, nomadic humans lived in small hunter-gatherer groups and developed simple stone tools. The Neolithic Revolution led to the rise of agriculture and more permanent settlements.
3. The first civilizations emerged with organized governments, religion, job specializations and other complex social structures, such as Catal Huyuk in ancient Turkey.
S.s. unit 1 lesson 1
The document discusses early human development based on fossil evidence. It summarizes that earliest humans originated in Africa and spread across the globe. Studying human remains and artifacts helps understand our place in human history. Key terms discussed include hominid, Paleolithic Age, and Neolithic Age. Several important early humans are also mentioned, such as Homo habilis, Homo erectus, Neanderthals, and Homo sapiens.
Africa2
Early Africans passed knowledge through oral tradition from generation to generation as writing had not been developed yet. Tribes were made up of several clans and were led by tribal heads. Europeans colonized Africa between the 15th and 20th centuries due to its natural resources like gold, diamonds and ivory. Most foreign rule ended in Africa during the 1950s and 1960s. Families are the most important social unit and music plays a large role in African culture, often using drums and other instruments.

Argument and Persuasion is a somewhat more challenging rhetorica.docx
Argument and Persuasion is a somewhat more challenging rhetorical mode to employ (than description or cause and effect) because it has to function successfully on three levels simultaneously. These are called the three “Levels of Appeal.” The levels are:
Logical/rational
Moral/ethical
Emotional
Other rhetorical modes only operate on the logical/rational level. As you study READ3, notice and think about how Jefferson, Lincoln, King, and Hughes use Argumentation and Persuasion while satisfying the three “Levels of Appeal.” Then, in the discussion board
Discuss the issues you find in these writers that you feel are most important today.

Studying human remains and artifacts helps understand our place in human history. Key terms discussed include hominid, Paleolithic Age, and Neolithic Age. Several important early humans are also mentioned, such as Homo habilis, Homo erectus, Neanderthals, and Homo sapiens.
Africa2
Early Africans passed knowledge through oral tradition from generation to generation as writing had not been developed yet. Tribes were made up of several clans and were led by tribal heads. Europeans colonized Africa between the 15th and 20th centuries due to its natural resources like gold, diamonds and ivory. Most foreign rule ended in Africa during the 1950s and 1960s. Families are the most important social unit and music plays a large role in African culture, often using drums and other instruments.

Argument and Persuasion is a somewhat more challenging rhetorica.docx
Argument and Persuasion is a somewhat more challenging rhetorical mode to employ (than description or cause and effect) because it has to function successfully on three levels simultaneously. These are called the three “Levels of Appeal.” The levels are:
Logical/rational
Moral/ethical
Emotional
Other rhetorical modes only operate on the logical/rational level. As you study READ3, notice and think about how Jefferson, Lincoln, King, and Hughes use Argumentation and Persuasion while satisfying the three “Levels of Appeal.” Then, in the discussion board
Discuss the issues you find in these writers that you feel are most important today.

prevent movie piracy by…, etc.) and write an argumentative essay. Strive for
at least three strong
arguments
in addition to a
counterargument and refutation
(see counterargument and refutation
details in the Top Ten Tips section). Using

sentence: “The first way movie piracy hurts the economy is….” Then be sure to support that claim with
researched data.
Conclude each paragraph
with a sentence that summarizes the paragraph’s main
ideas.
Sample Thesis Statement:
Ideally, a thesis would include the major assignment objectives for the essay, which in this case would
be your claim/opinion, reasons why you have that opinion, and the counter-argument: “Movie piracy is
unethical because (add argument 1), (add argument 2), and (add argument 3), even though (add
counterargument focus).”
Note that a thorough thesis statement will include the
counterargument
in addition to your own
arguments.

Are humans experiencing microevolution due to natural selection I.docx
Are humans experiencing microevolution due to natural selection? If yes, propose an example. If no, explain why not. Cite your source(s) at the end of your post.
What is the distinction between micro and macroevolution?
Can one accept one idea and not the other? Explain your answer and cite your source(s).
If we maintain a strict biological definition of “species”, H. sapiens and H. neanderthalensis were NOT separate species as they successfully interbred.
What impact might this information have on assigning a date to the origin of humans?
Are there any other implications?
Cite your source(s) at the end of your post.
Throughout the past seven modules you have been presented with an introduction to evolutionary theory and some lines of evidence for its validity. There are many websites that purport to illustrate the falsity of evolution. Go online and research a single argument that one of these sites makes against evolution. Select one that you find interesting or support or find most plausible.
Make a post with the following components:
A) Explain the specific argument against evolutionary theory.
B) Evaluate the argument. Support or Refute it. Use citations from trusted sources to support your work.

Apply the reading on the MyArtsLab Closer Look at “Édouard Manet,
Olympia
,” The image of Manet's "Olympia" may at first appear to be nothing more than another painting like so many using many images and symbols to depict some element of higher culture. But if one were to take the time and look at Titian's "Venus of Urbino", you would realize Manet's work is making specific reference to this painting with a strong social commentary about the morals and values of the times and the way in which poverty have taken its toll on the poor in Paris.
Art continues to be a powerful force in drawing attention to social issues. For your discussion topic, briefly identify one instance in present-day culture where an individual communicated a social message in the form of a painting, film, commercial, billboard, poster, or any other visual mode of communication. Analyze your selection and describe the visual message represented.

Volunteers: Roles and Relationships
Board Governance & Volunteer Management
ASSIGNMENT DUE SUNDAY 3/15/20 8:00 pm NEW YORK TIME
APA format 1-3 pages within the references and in paper citations
Many nonprofit organizations cannot afford to employ staff for all the work that must be done to achieve organizational goals. Volunteers, then, are often integral contributors to organizational success. In order to ensure high volunteer retention, special care must be taken to design volunteer positions that are both interesting and meaningful to the volunteer and important to the organization.
Paid staff members are usually responsible for designing and delegating work to volunteers, so the relationship between the two groups is important. Volunteers need to know they are valued and appreciated for their contribution to the overall mission of the organization. Tensions arise when paid staff regard volunteers as somehow "less than" the staff or as an impediment to their getting their work done. The goal is for there to be a working relationship that satisfies the needs and desires of both groups.
To prepare for this assignment:
Review
Chapter 4 in the course text,

Application Special Needs From a Variety of PerspectivesThroughou.docx
Application: Special Needs From a Variety of Perspectives
Throughout this course, you will be studying many topics related to children with special needs. The readings, content reviews, and Discussions will help you gain a valuable base of information. To expand your knowledge, the course Applications will offer ways to explore areas of special needs in more depth and increase your awareness of what it is like to teach and to parent a child with special needs, or to be someone who has been identified with a special need.
Before you begin the Week 1 Application, review the outline below in order to plan effectively.
Week 1: Write a Brochure on Early Intervention Services.
You will imagine yourself in the role of a Child Development Community Liaison for a nonprofit organization that provides programs related to infant/toddler healthy development. Your job is to create a brochure for infant/toddler program directors and caregivers informing them about your services.
Week 2: Interview with a Teacher or Caregiver.
You will have a choice of interviewing a teacher whose expertise is special education and who works with children ages 3–8, or a teacher or caregiver who has a child or children in his/her setting who have been identified with special needs.
Week 3: Research and Information Exchange, Part 1.
You will research a category of special needs that is of interest to you in order to gain a greater depth of knowledge.
Week 4: Research and Information Exchange, Part 2.
You will share, review, and reflect on fellow students' research on different categories of special needs.
Week 5: Interview with a Parent of a Child with Special Needs or with a Student or Adult with Special Needs.
You will have a choice of interviewing a parent or other close adult family member of a child with special needs, or a person with special needs who would like to share his or her experiences and perspectives.
Week 1: Write a Brochure on Early Intervention Services
As you have learned this week, early intervention services can include programs for infants and toddlers who may be at risk from biological or environmental issues that could lead to developmental delays or other special needs. One challenge to early intervention service providers is to ensure that they reach out and connect with families. All of the various types of infant and toddler programs in a community, including family day care homes, Early Start, faith-based programs, community organizations, can play an important role in connecting families to available early intervention services.
For your Application Assignment this week, imagine that you have been hired as a Child Development Community Liaison for a community organization called The Guidance Center Inc. In reality, this respected, not-for-profit organization serves the communities of Cambridge and Somerville in Massachusetts. As part of The Guidance Center's Early Childhood Services for ages 0–6 , their Infant-Toddler Services include four p.
Application Theoretical FrameworksEarlier weeks have focused on t.docx
Application: Theoretical Frameworks
Earlier weeks have focused on the importance of identifying and evaluating relevant scholarly literature, and then creating a synthesis that forms the literature review. In designing studies on social problems and in policy arenas, researchers build on these findings from earlier studies, often with new topics in the same or a related field, or with new populations, research design, or research methods.
This is described in your research text in the context of identifying elements to study, together with their relevance and relationships, as “investigators integrate their ideas, the observations of others, the research literature, and their own research” (O’Sullivan, Rassel, & Berner, 2008, p. 7). Just as scholarly researchers base their study designs on related research literature, so, too, must they investigate and apply various theories. Theories, in both researchers’ own and related disciplines, are built on and developed from earlier theories. In order to understand and be able to apply theories to research in public policy and administration, one must “appreciate the historical contexts through which it has developed and the cultural milieus during which important contributions were made to its body of ideas and knowledge” (Shafritz, Ott, & Jang, 2016, p. 2).
An illustration of the networks, connections, and processes among three theories in a theoretical framework will provide the visual that may help to stimulate your thinking about your work on a theoretical framework, and its relationship to your literature synthesis .
Examine the literature in your readings and search peer-reviewed journal articles, to analyze how the theoretical frameworks you are considering using have been used in other research. In 1–2 pages, justify your selection of the two theoretical frameworks you identified in this week’s Discussion. In what way are the theoretical frameworks applicable to your proposed research? Provide examples from the literature. Explain the appropriateness to public policy and administration.

Application The Civil Service SystemHow do public adminis.docx
Application: The Civil Service System
How do public administrators become public administrators? Who recruits, selects, and hires them? How are they paid, promoted, and evaluated? The civil service system is similar to the human resources (HR) department at a private organization. That is, it is concerned with all of the issues and tasks related to employment within the organization. Since the "organization" in this case is the government, there also are many differences between the civil service system and the human resources practices at most private companies. Government organizations have very specific, rigid processes for recruitment, selection, promotion, and appraisal of employees. Many of these processes have been in place since the 19th century. For example, prospective civil servants must pass exams before even being considered for a government position. This is part of the merit system, which is one of the foundational principles of the civil service system. The merit system is based on the idea that the most qualified person should fill each position, rather than a person who simply has the "right" political connections. In addition, government positions all are given a specific classification, which determines the rate of pay. Although these rules sound logical in theory, in practice they often become extremely complicated, leading to dishonesty and inefficiency. As a result, efforts at civil service reform are common and span throughout history, from the Pendleton Act of 1881, to President George W. Bush's push for competitive sourcing in 2001. In this assignment, you examine what the civil service system comprises, as well as how it might be improved.
The assignment (2–3 pages):
Due Thursday 6/11/2015
In your own words, define the civil service system.
Explain the major components of the civil service system.
Explain one way in which you might improve the civil service system.
Explain why you would choose to implement this improvement and what its positive results might be.

Then describe the type(s) of personal actions you could take, with the support of the organization, to contribute to your community. Explain why you chose these particular actions and how this involvement aligns with Walden’s mission.
If you are already involved in community service activities, name and describe the organization with which you work. Also explain how you contribute to the organization’s activities.
Note
: The purpose of this Application is to encourage you to begin thinking about what you might do to contribute to your community. You are not required to volunteer or take part in any activities. The objective is to begin thinking about ways you could apply the Walden mission.
