Band societies typically comprise small groups of related families with populations of 40-100 people. They tend to be nomadic hunter-gatherers who practice simple foraging and have an egalitarian social structure without formal leadership roles. Exchange between bands is generally based on principles of reciprocity rather than markets. Beliefs often incorporate animism and the use of magic to address everyday problems and supernatural forces.

!Kung San of the Kalahari Desert
The document discusses the !Kung San people of the Kalahari Desert region in Namibia and Botswana. It describes their nomadic foraging lifestyle, small band structure, use of hunting and gathering for food, and egalitarian social norms. Recently, governments have forced many !Kung bands to relocate from their traditional lands to make way for game reserves, disrupting their way of life.
Reverse Dominance Hierarchies
The document discusses the evolution of inequality in human societies from early egalitarian hunter-gatherer bands to stratified states. It describes how forager societies like the !Kung used "reverse dominance hierarchies" to suppress any individual who tried to dominate the group and maintain egalitarianism. As populations and food surpluses increased with settled farming, it became difficult to maintain equality through these mechanisms, leading to the rise of social stratification, elites, and hierarchical political organizations.
Overcoming Reverse Dominance Hierarchies
The document discusses the evolution of inequality in human societies from early foraging bands to more complex civilizations. It describes how foraging bands like the !Kung San used "reverse dominance hierarchies" to suppress any individual who tried to dominate the group and promote egalitarianism. As populations and food surpluses increased, it became difficult for bands to maintain egalitarian control, leading to the rise of social stratification, elites, and hierarchical chiefdoms and states that concentrated power over key resources.
Altruism in animals and its type
This presentation is mainly about animal behavior topics, Altruism, Kin Selecetion, reciprocal altruism, and Hamilton's rule.
New Xade Mission - Botswana
The document summarizes a Christian mission trip to the New Xade village in Botswana in July 2005 to provide medical services, preach the gospel, and build a church for the local Gikwe Bushmen community. A team from God's People Mission visited the village, set up a clinic, visited homes and the local chief to share their faith, held church services and training, donated Bibles to the local school, and constructed a new church building for the community's use after 26 years, culminating in an opening ceremony where over 500 people were fed.
Writing In The Sand
This document summarizes a research study that used autoethnography to examine observer-observed relations among Indigenous San/Bushmen people in Southern Africa. The study aimed to examine issues of dependency, inclusion/exclusion, and othering. It used autoethnography, narratives, participant observation, interviews, filming and photography to understand how meaning is constructed. Each researcher interpreted the same situations differently. The local experiences offered insight into addressing global issues of possession, poverty, and ontology.
Peoples of the Deseert
The document summarizes information about two indigenous desert-dwelling groups: the !Kung people of southern Africa and the Shoshone people of Nevada. The !Kung live nomadically in small family bands and rely on hunting and gathering for food. They have an egalitarian social structure and emphasize sharing resources. The Shoshone also lived nomadically in family bands, exploiting different ecological zones and sharing food. Both groups faced challenges to their traditional lands and ways of life from government policies in recent decades.

Chiefdom Level of Integration
1. Chiefdoms and ranked societies emerged around 10,000 years ago as populations increased beyond the scope of kin-based control and food surpluses arose from agriculture and pastoralism.
2. These societies developed social hierarchies and political leaders (chiefs) who controlled important resources and enforced their dominance through mechanisms like taxation, forced labor, and the inheritance of political positions.
3. Examples of ranked societies included the Kwakiutl of the Northwest Coast, who had a ranked social structure headed by a chief position that was inherited by the eldest son through ceremonies like potlatches that reinforced social hierarchies.
Sociopolitical Anthropology
The document discusses sociopolitical anthropology and the cross-cultural study of social organization, informal social control, and governance. It covers common forms of social grouping such as by gender, age, associations, and social class. It also discusses concepts like egalitarian societies, ranked societies, stratified societies, bands, tribes, chiefdoms, states, legitimacy, and power versus authority.

Introduction to Sociology
Sociologists analyze information and data to understand relationships rather than accepting common beliefs. The document then discusses the evolution of human societies from hunting and gathering to agricultural societies. Key points include that hunting and gathering societies were small and nomadic, while pastoral and horticultural societies developed inequality, trade, and political institutions as surpluses emerged. Agricultural societies were much larger and led to distinct social classes, money-based economies, specialized religious institutions, and empire building.
Guardianship for animals joan bundy for 2009 az state bar convention
The document discusses the concept of legal guardianship for animals as an alternative to considering them as property. It argues that guardianship would recognize animals as sentient beings deserving of protection from harm. A two-tier system is proposed with primary guardians like owners and secondary guardians like advocacy groups. Citizen suits are also discussed as a current way to challenge injuries to animals, though standing is sometimes denied. The document reviews arguments against guardianship but concludes the time has come for laws to better reflect the sentience of animals.

Final presentation
This document discusses animal rights and cruelty awareness. It defines animal cruelty and provides examples of cruelty from Sea World, Walmart, and KFC involving keeping animals in small enclosures and unsanitary, painful conditions. The document encourages observing animals for signs of abuse like filth, malnutrition, or aggressive behaviors and reporting any suspected cruelty to authorities. It suggests ways to help animals through donations, fundraising, advocacy, and adopting a vegetarian lifestyle.
GenderAs Edmund Leach observed, one of the things that mar.docx
Gender
As Edmund Leach observed, one of the things that marriage does is “Give either or both
spouses rights to the labor of the other.” This is necessary because the gendered division of labor
is one of the basic aspects of all societies. That is, a society in which males and females do
exactly the same things is unknown. Marriage creates a household that encompasses both male
and female tasks, theoretically creating a unit in which everything that needs to be done can be
done, regardless of who does it (which varies by culture).
Male and female, and other genders are subject to the same kinds of hierarchical
distinctions, advantages, and disabilities as classes, castes, ethnic groups, and social races.
Anthropologists approach gender as being culturally constructed, as well as biologically
determined. A person’s sex is determined by chromosomes, hormones and physical
characteristics. Gender, in contrast, is culturally defined and constructed, so that the rights,
duties and responsibilities associated with biological sex vary from group to group. Each culture
has its ‘gender scripts’ which define what it means to be male and female and how men and
women should interact in a variety of social settings. These scripts are learned through
enculturation and are legitimized and sanctioned through gender-related ideologies contained in
creation myths, and by rituals that validate gender role authority and dominance.
Gender Ideologies
In many cultures, males believe that they are spiritually superior to women and that
females are dangerous, weak, and untrustworthy. The male knowledge embraces secret male
initiation rites, male residence in a separate men’s house, from which women are excluded. Any
woman who admits to knowing the secrets of the cult is threatened with rape or death.
In contrast, in west African cultures, women are often portrayed as creative agents; their
mythological charters describe women as progenitors of the people and agents for the fertility of
the soil. Moreover, female deities are often found in societies where women are valued as food
producers – where women are actively engaged in producing crops and are farmers in their own
right. However, there is no ethnographically known case of matriarchy, a society in which
women are dominant.
The myth of matriarchy invariably highlights women’s failure as rulers — because
women did not know how to handle power — and reaffirms the inferiority of their present
position. In the case of the Mundurucu of Brazil, the myth describes the reversal of the social
order, when women controlled the sacred instruments. The women, however, did not know how
to protect the trumpets, and because of their incompetence, men took control of the instruments
and became the dominant sex.
The relativity of gender Hierarchies
How much of the male claim to spiritual superiority do women believe in societies where
it is professed? One must be skeptical that an.
Introduction to Cross-Cultural Comparison
Covers the basic principles of cross-ciultural comparison and the techniques of ethnographic fieldwork
Introduction to Cultures of the World
This document provides an introduction to cross-cultural comparisons and defining culture. It discusses that culture can refer to both visual arts as well as customs and behaviors. Culture is learned, shared within a group, integrated in patterns, adaptive to environments, and based on symbolism. The document then outlines four levels of sociocultural integration - bands, tribes, chiefdoms, and states - to structure cultural comparisons. It also discusses defining characteristics of cultures like peasants and the importance of fieldwork in studying cultures.

Global biodiversity
This document discusses threats to global biodiversity from human activities. It begins by providing context on the mass extinction of dinosaurs 65 million years ago, likely due to climate change. Today, thousands of species are endangered or threatened with extinction due to three main human-related threats: trade and poaching for profit; development destroying habitats and bringing pollution; and pollution itself. Examples are given of species threatened by each, such as elephants killed for ivory and Florida panthers competing for space with urban development in the Everglades. The document stresses that balancing human needs with conservation is important to prevent a looming sixth mass extinction.

Indian Tribal culture
This document discusses cultural communication and tribal culture. It provides definitions of tribes and describes their socio-cultural, religious, political, and economic characteristics. Tribes are typically isolated groups that engage in hunting, live in forests, and have their own distinct languages and belief systems. While modernization has disrupted tribal autonomy and traditions, preserving tribal culture is important for celebrating India's diversity. Finding community and belonging within a tribe can provide fulfillment and benefits to well-being.
Cultural anthropology ch10 to ch14
- Sex and gender are influenced by both biological and social/cultural factors. While biology determines one's sex, gender roles and behaviors are largely learned and can vary significantly across cultures.
- Cultural practices around the world exhibit a wide range in expressions of sexuality, gender roles and relations. Most cultures are dominated by patriarchal systems where men center power. However, alternative genders also exist.
- Political organization ranges from simple band societies to more complex states. Leadership and social control methods vary depending on the type of society, from consensus-based bands to hierarchical states with formalized legal institutions.
Animal law in indian country companion animals_02-12-10
The document discusses the history of animal domestication among Native American tribes and traditional beliefs regarding the treatment of animals. It provides examples of cruelty to animals laws from the Tohono O'odham Nation criminal code and considers various approaches to drafting animal protection laws and codes that are culturally appropriate and address issues like overpopulation, identification, dangerous and destructive animals, and the link between animal abuse and violence against humans.
Environmental ethics
Environmental ethics considers extending traditional ethics from solely including humans to also include the non-human world. It influences many disciplines and examines ethical decisions regarding issues like deforestation, population growth, vehicle emissions, consumption patterns, and obligations to future generations. There are differing views on what has moral standing - whether it includes only humans, all sentient beings, all life, or entire ecosystems. Views also differ on humanity's relationship with nature and duties regarding environmental protection.
Economic Anthropology
The document provides an overview of key concepts in economic anthropology, including definitions, examples, and comparisons of different modes of production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services across cultures. It discusses the cross-cultural study of economies, definitions of key terms, variations in production involving divisions of labor, and the three main types of exchange systems - reciprocity, redistribution, and market exchange.

Human biological and cultural evolution 2
To understand human culture, we must examine our biological evolution and capacity for culture. Our large brains enabled complex thinking, language, and tool use. Our dexterous hands and opposable thumbs allowed for precision grips needed for toolmaking. Our ability to walk upright on two legs freed our hands for tasks while traveling. These biological adaptations formed the basis for advanced cognition and culture that distinguishes humans from other primates.
Human biological and cultural evolution
Human Biological and Cultural Evolution discusses key aspects of human evolution, including our biological capacity for culture. It examines our taxonomy, comparing human and chimp anatomy and brains. Key human adaptations like bipedalism, tool-making abilities, and increased brain size allowed for the development of culture over generations, from Australopithecus to Homo habilis, Homo erectus, and modern Homo sapiens. Understanding our evolutionary history provides context for how and why human culture emerged.

Excavation Techniques and Analysis
This document discusses techniques for excavating archaeological sites and analyzing recovered artifacts and materials. It covers topics such as taphonomy, methods for mapping sites, stratigraphy, vertical and horizontal excavation procedures, dating techniques including relative dating using stratigraphy and association, and absolute dating methods like radiocarbon dating, dendrochronology, and radiopotassium dating. The goal of analysis is to determine attributes, dates, and environmental context to learn about how sites were formed and occupied. A multidisciplinary approach using several dating techniques together is recommended to overcome the limitations of any single method.
Fossil Hominins: From Ardipithecus to Homo
The document summarizes key trends in hominin evolution from Ardipithecus to Homo sapiens. It describes major fossil finds representing stages from 4-5 million years ago to the present. Major transitions include the emergence of bipedalism, increasing brain size, adaptation of hands and forelimbs for tool use, and development of stone tool technologies from Oldowan to Acheulean and Mousterian industries.

Primate Social Behavior
Primate social behavior is complex, with primates forming social groups for defense, cooperation, and raising young. Social behaviors include grooming to maintain social bonds, territoriality where groups defend core areas, and dominance hierarchies. Communication occurs through calls, gestures, and reconciliation behaviors after conflicts. While tool use is most advanced in chimpanzees, other primates also exhibit social learning behaviors that provide clues about early human societies. Comparing behaviors of chimpanzees and bonobos offers insights into how nature and nurture have shaped human social evolution.
HUman Biological and Cultural Evolutioj
The document discusses human biological and cultural evolution from an anthropological perspective. It covers taxonomy and how humans fit within the animal kingdom as primates. It then examines human anatomy compared to chimpanzees, including brain structure, hands, bipedalism, and other features that enabled human culture and tool use. The document also reviews early models of human origins, fossils of hominins, and trends in human evolution from Australopithecus to Homo sapiens.
Defining Culture
The document discusses E.B. Tylor's original definition of culture as the "complex whole" that includes knowledge, beliefs, arts, morals, law, and customs acquired by humans as members of society. It examines key characteristics of culture, such as it being learned through symbols like language, shared within social groups, integrated across aspects like technology and environment, and generally adaptive for survival. Cultures can include dominant and subcultures and may become maladapted after rapid changes or resource depletion.
An Introduction to Anthropology
The document provides an introduction to cultural anthropology and discusses some of the topics anthropologists study, including different cultural practices around marriage, economics, politics, and the supernatural. It notes that anthropologists seek to explain both the diversity and similarities between human cultures by studying questions such as why some cultures practice monogamy while others practice polygamy, and why some have formal governments while others manage without them. The document also discusses what anthropology is and how anthropologists study human cultures through fieldwork, archaeology, and analyzing language.
Early Medieval Europe
The document summarizes the roots of medieval Europe, including Judaism, Greece, Rome, and the rise of Christianity. It discusses key figures like Jesus, Paul, and early Christian theologians like Augustine. It also outlines the development of the Roman Catholic Church and its doctrines. The church provided a template for medieval ideology and helped spread Christianity throughout Europe during this time period.
Recent African Origins or Regional Evolution?
There is an ongoing debate between two models about modern human origins: the Recent African Origin model and the Multiregional Evolution model. The Recent African Origin model proposes that modern humans evolved recently in Africa and migrated outward, replacing archaic humans. The Multiregional model suggests that modern humans evolved from Homo erectus across different regions with interbreeding. However, the evidence from fossils and genetics is complex and fragmented, allowing different interpretations and no clear consensus between experts advocating different models.

Fossil Hominins: From Australopithecus to Homo
The document summarizes human evolution from Australopithecus to Homo species. Key points include:
- Australopithecus had smaller brains and more primitive tools than Homo. Homo habilis was the first toolmaker.
- Homo erectus had a larger brain and more advanced tools than earlier species. It was the first hominin to spread globally.
- Later Homo species like Homo neanderthalensis and Homo sapiens had even larger brains and more advanced stone tool technologies.
Greece and the Arts
Greek art evolved from stylized Egyptian influences to more naturalistic representations, emphasizing balance and ideal human forms. Sculpture progressed from rigid archaic kouroi to representations showing movement and realism. Architecture featured temples built with columns in the Doric, Ionic or Corinthian orders and decorated pediments honoring gods. The Parthenon housed a statue of Athena and featured sculpted friezes depicting myths and processions.
Mesopotamia and the Near East: Foundation of Western Culture
Mesopotamia, located between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, was the site of early agricultural developments and the world's first cities. Key Mesopotamian civilizations included Sumer, Akkad, Assyria, and Babylon. Writing developed from tokens used for accounting to the cuneiform script on clay tablets. Major cities such as Uruk, Ur, and Babylon featured ziggurats, temples, and palaces at their cores and traded extensively by river and overland routes. Recurring themes in Mesopotamian art, literature, and religion included war, powerful rulers, and gods and goddesses like Ishtar.
Mesopotalia and the Near East: The Roots of Western Culture
The document provides an overview of Mesopotamian civilization between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, including the development of agriculture, writing, cities, and social stratification. Key points include the domestication of plants and animals in the Fertile Crescent starting 9000 BC, the growth of cities like Uruk and Eridu with temples and irrigation systems between 5000-3000 BC, and the development of cuneiform writing out of clay token accounting systems by 3100 BC.
Egypt: The Kingdom Along the Nile
- Egypt was unified around 3100 BC under King Narmer (also known as Menes), who conquered Upper and Lower Egypt and established the first dynasty. This began a period of stability and centralized rule under divine pharaohs that lasted over 3,000 years.
- The Nile River provided highly predictable flooding that made the land fertile and facilitated Egypt's isolation, uniform culture, and political stability. Egyptians developed a complex religion, burial customs, hieroglyphic writing system, and constructed large pyramids and temples.
- Egyptian society was highly stratified with the pharaoh as a god-king at the top. After death, individuals underwent mummification to preserve their body for the after
Medieval Era in the Arts
Christianity was the dominant influence on medieval art and architecture in Europe. Works of art depicted biblical scenes from the life of Christ as described in the New Testament. Church architecture evolved from Romanesque styles with rounded arches and few windows to Gothic styles with pointed arches, ribbed vaulting, flying buttresses, and large stained glass windows to let in more light. These cathedrals served as sites of pilgrimage and reflected the rise of Christianity in medieval Europe.
