Anth1 Theory Ch03
The document provides an overview of major theoretical perspectives in cultural anthropology, including evolutionism, historical particularism, functionalism, structuralism, symbolic and interpretive anthropology, neoevolutionism, world systems theory, and political economy approaches. It summarizes key ideas, theorists, and works associated with each perspective from the 19th century to present day.
Unilinear Evolutionism
1. 19th century anthropologists like Lewis Henry Morgan and Edward Tylor proposed theories of unilinear evolutionism, which argued that all human societies evolved through the same linear stages of development, from savagery to barbarism to civilization.
2. Morgan's 1877 book "Ancient Society" divided savagery and barbarism into distinct sub-stages based on technological and cultural achievements. However, his assumptions of a single evolutionary path and criteria for stages have been criticized.
3. Tylor applied evolutionary theory to religion, proposing societies evolved from animism to polytheism to monotheism and eventually science. He and Morgan were interested in "survivals," or practices that survived into
World History Ch. 1 Section 2 Notes
1. The development of agriculture around 10,000 years ago, known as the Neolithic Revolution, radically changed how people lived. Early humans began farming domesticated plants and animals, which provided a more reliable food source.
2. Some people adopted a nomadic pastoralist lifestyle while others formed permanent settlements to pool their labor and resources for farming. These settlements grew into villages and towns with more complex societies and social hierarchies.
3. Agriculture led to other technological developments that further transformed societies, such as pottery, woven textiles, and new tools made from bronze and copper. People took on specialized roles and trade between communities increased.
Culturalecology
Ecology is the study of the interactions between organisms and their environment. The field was established in 1858 and further developed by the contributions of Darwin and Wallace. Julian Steward coined the term "cultural ecology" in 1955 to describe his methodology for examining the relationships between human groups, their environment, and how ecological factors influence aspects of culture like subsistence and technology. Steward also proposed the theory of "multilinear evolution" to explain that cultural change occurs through different processes in different areas, rather than universally or in one direction. He conducted studies applying these ideas to Native American groups and others.
Historical particularism
Franz Boas developed the theory of historical particularism, which rejects the idea that cultural traits follow single evolutionary paths. Through his research on immigrant populations in the US and indigenous groups in the Pacific Northwest, Boas demonstrated that human biology and culture are influenced by environmental and historical context rather than predetermined. Historical particularism stresses that cultural traits diffuse between societies but take on distinct histories as they are adapted locally. Comparisons of cultural traits across societies are not valid because their origins and meanings have been shaped by different historical processes.
Anthropological Theory class presentation
This document summarizes the history and development of anthropology in the Philippines from the Spanish colonial period through the American colonial period to the present. It discusses how early anthropological studies focused on racial classification of Filipinos and treating them as "objects" of study. It then outlines how anthropology at the University of the Philippines evolved under scholars like H.O. Beyer to focus on areas like archaeology, ethnography, and social engineering. The document argues that anthropology needs to move towards a more socially engaged and public form to address its colonial past of defining the self through the other.
World History Ch. 1 Section 1 Notes
1. Scientific evidence suggests that modern humans originated in Africa and then migrated throughout the world over hundreds of thousands of years, adapting to new environments.
2. Early hominids like Australopithecus, Homo habilis, and Homo erectus developed over millions of years, with Homo sapiens emerging around 200,000 years ago.
3. During the Stone Age, humans lived as nomadic hunter-gatherers, making tools from stone to hunt, fish, and shelter themselves, and forming basic social structures and cultural practices.
STS - technology as a way of revealing
This document summarizes the changes in human condition before and after the development of science and technology. It explains that before common era, people lived according to nature and relied on rituals. After common era, population growth and overhunting led to resource depletion. Technology helped make life easier and more productive by advancing medicine, health, education and allowing longer lifespans, higher literacy and GDP. However, overreliance on technology for economic gain risks losing sight of what really matters to humanity. Overall, technology improved conditions for many but global inequalities still exist.

Introduction to Anthropology, the four subfields of anthropology, and the definition of culture for this Cultural Anthropology course.
Hoa early civilization
- Early humans lived in groups of 10-30 individuals as hunter-gatherers from around 100,000 years ago. They hunted prey like reindeer and gathered plant foods. Women often provided more of the food through gathering.
- Characteristics of human culture began developing as humans started living together, including language, human rights, compassion, belief systems, and social structures within clans and tribes. The first evidence of clothing, use of fire, and seafaring dates back to around 176,000 years ago.
- Early civilizations arose in places like Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Indus Valley, and China from around 3500 BC. They had organized systems of government and
Anth1 Wk1 Pt1
This document provides an introduction to cultural anthropology by outlining its four main subfields and objectives. It discusses how anthropology takes a holistic and comparative approach to studying humanity. The four subfields are cultural anthropology, archaeology, biological anthropology, and linguistic anthropology. Cultural anthropology examines human diversity and societies of the present and recent past through ethnographic fieldwork and ethnological comparison.
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.
History of archaeology in global context
Archaeology has evolved from early treasure hunting and antiquarian pursuits into a scientific discipline over thousands of years. Key developments include the Greeks' and Romans' early studies of ancient cultures, the rise of antiquarianism in medieval and Renaissance Europe, and major 18th and 19th century advances like the establishment of stratigraphy, development of geological techniques, and systematic excavation methods. The 20th century saw revolutionary scientific techniques like radiocarbon dating emerge, along with the "New Archaeology" movement which applied new methodologies to develop broad theories of human behavior and cultural change.
Definition, Aims, Scope and Relevance of Archaeology
This document defines archaeology and outlines its aims, scope, and relevance. Archaeology is defined as the study of past human cultures through their material remains. The aims of archaeology are to reconstruct extinct cultures and understand cultural changes by studying artifacts and sites. The scope of archaeology is broad, including fieldwork, exploration, and analysis of tangible evidence. Archaeology's relevance includes providing information on the past, fostering cultural heritage and national pride, and supporting conservation, tourism, and jobs.
Ch. 1 beginnings of civilizations
1. Early humans began developing agriculture and domesticating animals around 10,000 years ago, leading to more reliable food sources and the growth of larger, permanent settlements.
2. The first civilizations arose near fertile river valleys and had characteristics like cities, organized government, formalized religion, social classes, record keeping, and architecture. They were centered around places like Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Indus Valley, and China.
3. Civilizations changed over time due to factors such as environmental influences, trade and cultural diffusion, and conflicts over scarce resources, which led to expansion, migration, and conquest.
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.
Stone Age
The document provides an overview of world history from prehistory to 3000 BC. It discusses how geography is linked to history and how anthropologists and archaeologists study early peoples. It describes advances made in the Old Stone Age and the religious beliefs of early humans. It explains how the Neolithic Agricultural Revolution led to permanent settlements and civilization near rivers. Key features that distinguish civilizations are also outlined, and how cultures spread and changed over time through interactions.
World History Chapter 1, Sections 1-2
Prehistory refers to the time before written records. Archaeologists learn about prehistoric societies by analyzing artifacts and fossils. For example, 3.5 million year old footprints found in Africa provided evidence of early human ancestors called hominids walking upright. During the Paleolithic age, hominid species like Homo habilis and Homo erectus developed tools and technology like fire and language, allowing them to control their environments more. The Neolithic age saw the development of agriculture, as humans transitioned from nomadic hunter-gatherers to settled farmers, establishing larger permanent settlements.
Social change anthropology
This document provides an overview of key concepts and theories in anthropology. It discusses anthropology as the scientific study of humans, their origins, behavior, and cultures. The main subfields of anthropology are described as cultural anthropology, archaeology, linguistics, and biological/physical anthropology. Cultural anthropology studies human cultures and societies through ethnographic and ethnological research. Archaeology examines human remains and artifacts to reconstruct past ways of life. Linguistics analyzes the relationship between language and culture. Biological anthropology studies humans from evolutionary and biological perspectives, including paleoanthropology and primatology.
(Social) Living Stone Age
The document summarizes key developments during the Stone Age, from the earliest humans to the transition to agricultural societies. It describes the major human species like Homo habilis, Homo erectus, Neanderthals, and Cro-Magnon. Tools and behaviors evolved, from basic stone tools to controlled use of fire and more advanced weapons. Later Stone Age societies built permanent settlements, engaged in trade, and created religious art and monuments like Stonehenge. This laid the groundwork for early civilizations to emerge.
Cultural diffusion unit overview
This document discusses how cultures borrow and spread ideas through diffusion. It provides examples of cultural traits and innovations that diffused from ancient Greek, Roman, medieval, and Renaissance societies to help develop modern Western civilization. Geography, specifically living near the sea and close proximity of diverse peoples in Europe, facilitated the diffusion of ideas between these historical cultures. Today, new ideas and inventions continue to spread through cultural diffusion across societies.
410 position paper nic g revised
This document discusses the increasing inclusion of indigenous voices and perspectives in archaeology and anthropology. It argues that past practices in these fields lacked indigenous input and representation, conducting research through a Western lens rather than an indigenous one. The document examines how several influential figures, such as Vine Deloria, Franz Boas, and Michael Foucault, helped shift the fields toward greater collaboration with indigenous communities and inclusion of indigenous ways of knowing. It also provides examples of successful indigenous archaeology programs, showing how equal partnership with native groups benefits all parties involved. Overall, the document makes the case that incorporating indigenous views and allowing native peoples to help guide research is crucial for conducting anthropology and archaeology in a more respectful and accurate manner
Rise of the West
The document discusses several theories for what caused the rise of the West between 1450-1750. The environmental theory argues Europe's natural advantages like resources, climate and harbors gave it a head start. D'Souza's theory says Europe rose due to institutions like science, democracy, and capitalism. Other factors discussed include the centralization of nation-states, population impacts from the Black Death like labor shortages and immunity, religious changes from the Reformation, and technological advances like the printing press.
Social Studies Review, Unit 1
The document is a Jeopardy! game about ancient history and archaeology hosted by a 6th grade social studies teacher. It contains clues and questions about topics like the Clovis people, the first civilization in Mesopotamia between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, Phoenician writing, Solomon's Temple, and how different cultures developed in the Americas.
HUM 102 Module 2 - Supporting discussion and activities
The document discusses several maps and timelines that are used to understand history and culture, including:
1) The Mercator projection map and arguments that it promotes white supremacy and imperialism.
2) Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion map and other alternatives to the traditional north-up map orientation.
3) Carl Sagan's Cosmic Calendar, which scales the age of the universe to a single calendar year to help understand timescales in history.
4) A memory matrix comparing archaeological periods, tools, economies, dwellings, clothing, and societies over time.
The document examines why change is difficult and why updated, less ethnocentric models struggle to be widely adopted.
Chapter 1 the beginnings of civilization
This document provides an overview of early human civilizations in the Paleolithic Age. It describes some of the key achievements and developments of early humans, including creating stone tools for hunting and gathering food, controlling and using fire, and developing spoken language which allowed them to communicate and pass down knowledge. The document also discusses some of the first art created by Cro-Magnon people in the form of cave paintings in Europe dating back over 12,000 years ago. Finally, it notes the environment underwent periods of extensive glaciation during the last Ice Age, around 20,000 years ago.
HUM 102 Module 1

Building Reactive Applications With Akka And Java
Reactive applications share four key traits: responsive, resilient, message-driven, and elastic. The Akka framework supports building reactive systems using the actor model which represents processing, storage, and communication as actors that receive messages asynchronously. Actors can send messages to other known actors, create new actors, and handle the next received message. This allows reactive applications to scale dynamically to meet demand and tolerate failures through message passing and supervision hierarchies.

UNIT 2 anth 1012 July 2023.ppt
This document summarizes the four main branches of anthropology: archaeology, linguistic anthropology, social/cultural anthropology, and physical anthropology.
Archaeology studies human history and prehistory through excavating sites and analyzing artifacts. It aims to reconstruct past cultures and societies. Linguistic anthropology examines the evolution of languages, how they are used in societies, and their structures. Social/cultural anthropology studies contemporary human cultures and societies through ethnographic fieldwork. Physical anthropology focuses on the biological aspects of humans, including evolution, genetics, and primatology.
Into to anthropology
Anthropology is the study of humans, human behavior, and societies in both past and present. It seeks to understand the diversity of humans and how and why they differ physically and culturally. There are four main fields of anthropology: biological anthropology, which studies human populations and evolution using an evolutionary framework; archaeology, which seeks to reconstruct past human cultures; cultural anthropology/ethnography, which aims to understand cultural variation across societies; and linguistic anthropology, which examines human language and communication and how it relates to culture.
Science of Anthropology
This document provides an overview of the field of anthropology. It defines anthropology as the study of humankind everywhere and throughout time. The key fields of anthropology are discussed as archaeology, physical anthropology, cultural anthropology, and linguistics. Research methods used by anthropologists are described, including cultural immersion, human ecology studies, archaeological analysis, and linguistic analysis. Physical anthropological research methods focusing on human bones and remains are also summarized. The document contrasts anthropology with other social sciences and discusses concepts like culture, society, evolution, and postmodernism.

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.
Anthropology intro and types
Anthropology seeks to answer important questions about human origins, development, and culture through scientific study. It encompasses two main types: physical anthropology, which studies human evolution and biology by examining fossils and skeletal remains; and cultural anthropology, which seeks to understand and compare human cultures through methods like participant observation, archaeology, and cross-cultural comparison. Studying anthropology can help us better understand human behavior and development, provide insight into other cultures, and promote tolerance between groups.
What is anthropology
Anthropology is the study of humans, their societies, and cultures. It takes a holistic and multifaceted approach to understand all aspects of human experience. Anthropologists study humans geographically, historically, biologically, culturally, linguistically, and archaeologically. The goal is to gain a deeper understanding of humans, how and why we vary, our past evolution and societies, and to help avoid misunderstandings between cultural groups.
Anthropology
Anthropology is the scientific study of humans, human behavior, and cultures. It is divided into four main subfields: physical/biological anthropology which studies human evolution and biology; archaeology which studies past human cultures through material remains; cultural anthropology which studies cultural variation; and linguistic anthropology which studies human language and communication. Key figures in the development of anthropology included Charles Darwin, who formulated the theory of evolution, and Edward Tylor who established cultural anthropology. Later, Franz Boas introduced cultural relativism, challenging beliefs of Western cultural superiority. Margaret Mead studied gender roles and their cultural influences. Structuralism and symbolic anthropology also emerged as important approaches in anthropology.

This document provides an overview of anthropology and the study of human origins and cultural development. It defines anthropology as the study of humanity, covering physical, social, and cultural aspects. The main branches of anthropology are described as biological/physical anthropology, archaeology, socio-cultural anthropology, and linguistic anthropology. Theories on human evolution and origin such as uniformitarianism and unilineal evolution are introduced. Key discoveries in human ancestors like Lucy, Homo habilis, and Homo erectus are outlined, as well as the development of modern Homo sapiens. Stages of cultural development from Paleolithic to Neolithic revolutions and early use of metals are summarized.

Anthropology is the scientific study of humans, their behavior, and societies. It is divided into two main fields: biological/physical anthropology, which studies humans as biological organisms, and cultural anthropology, which focuses on human behavior and includes the studies of archaeology, linguistics, and ethnology. Archaeology examines material remains to understand past human behavior and cultures. Linguistic anthropology studies the history, social contexts, and structures of languages. Ethnology involves the systematic description of cultures based on first-hand observation of cultural universals, particularities, and generalities. Anthropology aims to understand human diversity and the similarities between all human cultures worldwide.
Anthropology
Anthropology is the study of human societies and cultures, both past and present. It includes the study of human origins, cultural diversity, and social change. Anthropologists use various techniques to investigate human communities throughout history. There are four main fields of anthropology: cultural anthropology studies living human cultures; linguistic anthropology examines language and culture; archaeology studies human remains and artifacts to understand the past; and biological anthropology focuses on human evolution, variability, and adaptations using an evolutionary perspective. The overall goal of anthropology is to develop a holistic understanding of what it means to be human through understanding the interplay between human biology, language, and culture.

The document discusses the social sciences and the field of anthropology. It defines social sciences as the formal study of society, which involves social, cultural, and political aspects. It then provides an overview of anthropology, describing it as the study of what makes us human. The document outlines the four main subfields of anthropology: archaeology studies past human cultures through artifacts; biological anthropology examines human evolution and adaptation; cultural anthropology explores social and cultural practices; and linguistic anthropology studies human communication and language.
Lectures Anthropology.pptx
Anthropology is the study of human societies and human evolution. It has four main subfields: physical anthropology, cultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology, and archaeology. Architecture is relevant to anthropology because built environments shape human behavior and reflect cultural ideologies. Early human settlements evolved from nomadic structures like beehive huts used by hunter-gatherers, to more permanent pastoral encampments and houses in agricultural societies as humans transitioned to settled, agricultural lifestyles. Industrialization brought new building materials and skyscrapers while post-industrial societies emphasize technology.

I have compiled these notes from different resources. I am hopeful that these notes will help students who are willing to grab information on this subject for civil services exams or university exams. Good Luck
An Introduction to Anthropology
Physical anthropology studies humans from a biological perspective, including human evolution, physical variations between populations, and primate biology and behavior. Sociocultural anthropology focuses on human culture and social organization through ethnographic fieldwork. Archaeological anthropology studies past human societies through excavating and analyzing material remains. Linguistic anthropology examines language as a cultural system and how language relates to other aspects of human behavior and thought. Together, the four main approaches seek to understand humans and human diversity.
ANTHROPOLOGY-updated.pptx
Anthropology is the study of human beings and their ancestors. It began as a science during the time of European colonial exploration and encounters with indigenous peoples. Early anthropologists focused on documenting aspects of non-European cultures like kinship, language, religion and more. Franz Boas is considered the father of modern American anthropology and promoted the idea that each society has a unique culture. Anthropology aims to understand both what makes cultures different and what is shared in common between all humans. It is divided into four main fields: physical anthropology which studies humans biologically; cultural anthropology which examines living cultures; linguistic anthropology which studies language; and archaeology which looks at past cultures materially.
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.
anthropologicalfoundations-.pdf
Physical anthropology studies human physical structures and evolution. Cultural anthropology studies human behavior and the ways societies function. Anthropology can be divided into four main subfields: physical, cultural, linguistic, and archaeological anthropology. Anthropology is related to other sciences like biology, sociology, and history. It provides insights into how humans and cultures adapt to different environments and change over time. Anthropology contributes to education by emphasizing the role of culture and social contexts in understanding human societies.
