ANT 102: Introduction to Cultural Anthropology

3.00 Credits

Community College of Allegheny County

Cultural anthropology is the study of humans across the globe and looking into what makes us all tick. What makes groups different, and what similarities do we have? How is family defined? A major difference between anthropology and sociology is that anthropologists focus on non-industrialized or indigenous societies, while sociologists focus on the western world. The course deals with cultural variations among living populations of the present and recent past whose cultures have been described by ethnographic fieldworkers. Topics include language and communication (not always verbal or even among humans), ritual and religion, families, kinship and marriage and aspects of culture. Prerequisite: ENG 090 or placement

Community College of Allegheny County

Students in this course experience an overview of current data and theory related to biological variability among living and past human populations and the extensive fossils documenting human evolution. This course provides an essential comparative zoological perspective to understand our species' origins, evolution and diversity through comparisons between humans and other mammals, particularly the living nonhuman primates. The course is structured around the theory of evolution, the unifying concept of biological anthropology. Throughout the course, students are introduced to evolutionary theory, the mechanisms of evolution and their relevance for understanding variation in past and present human populations. The course covers current research and topics in human evolutionary biology, including evolutionary theory, natural selection, molecular and population genetics, human variation, human biology, primate diversity and behavior, and the paleontological record of human evolution. This course also provides a rich foundation for understanding the human condition from a biological and anthropological perspective. Prerequisite: ENG 090 or placement
