ANTH 4305 - Hunter-Gatherers

Credit Hours: 3
Contact Hours Lecture: 3
Contact Hours Lab: 0

For more than 95% of human history, hunting and gathering was the primary lifeway of every human on the planet. Perceptions and descriptions of this lifestyle have ranged from the romanticism of a “simpler time” to harsh descriptions of people living on the edge of survival. This course provides students with a foundation in hunter-gatherer populations and breaks down stereotypes surrounding hunter-gatherers, while also learning about the variation in adaptation of these populations and how anthropologists work with these groups. Cross-listed with ANTH 5314.
