...Why did hunter-gatherer societies switch to sedentary agriculture? The reason is because sedentary agriculture was the easiest way for them so get food. Sedentary agriculture can be more productive and even less dangerous than hunting. It is much easier to raise a bunch of sheep, or any other animal, and let them bread and domesticate them, so that whenever you need food you have it right there. This means that you would not have to go out and hunt and search for food. This definitely was the easiest lifestyle for those people and it also let them spend more time planting fruits and vegetables. The Hadza people were hunter gatherers but yet 80 percent of their diet was fruits and vegetables. They did a good job of domesticating their own animals so that they could spend more time plant foods. Why some societies are more industrially advanced than others? The reason for this was because each part of the world has their own resources. China was the richest country in the 16th and 17th Century mostly because they had the resources to produce silk, spices, and other luxuries. This then gave them ability to trade with other countries that did not have the resources to produce these items. The Spanish and Portuguese would mine and funnel gold and silver over to China in exchange for silk and spices. Later on, England then used their resources to find easier ways to produce cloth. They created the factory system by bringing in spinners, weavers, and others together in one place...

...Ethnography Study: Personal Identities of Homeless People This paper is an ethnographic study of the personal identities of people who are homeless and living in Chicago, Illinois. People who are homeless are portrayed in and thought of in negative light. Much too often do people group homeless people into one category in terms of judging their background before meeting them; their state of homelessness has been offered as informative of who they are. Their voices and perspectives rarely contribute to broader knowledge about who they are as people. As such, the forced ‘homeless identity’ has resulted in placing them as ‘different’ than the ‘normal’ people with homes. An August 2014 analysis by Chicago Coalition for the Homeless estimates that 138,575 Chicagoans were homeless in the course of the 2013-14 school year. This is 19.4% more than the 116,042 people who were homeless a year earlier . With the recognition that homelessness is continuously increasing every year come important questions about how this happened, what could be done about it, and who are the people experiencing homelessness. This ethnography is concerned with this last question. This thesis centers on the personal identities of people experiencing homelessness. I want to understand how they see themselves on an individual level. Identities matter. Identifying people on the basis of their homelessness influences how they are thought about, and thus responded to by policy makers, service providers...

...NAME INSTRUCTOR’S NAME COURSE COURSE CODE DATE OF SUBMISSION Evolution 1) Define evolution Charles Darwin proposed Evolution to be defined as the idea or scientific theory. Darwin believed that all species changed and evolved by natural selection from the same common ancestors. Evolution simply means that a species undergoes genetic change over time. Over many generations a species can evolve into something different. These changes take place because of changes in DNA, which originated as mutations. Not all species evolve at the same rate. The theory of evolution does not prove that species will constantly evolve or how fast the species will change when it does (Park, 2008). 2) Discuss what evolution is in terms of physical anthropology. Evolution refers to "change over time". In terms of physical anthropology, evolution is changes over time in living organisms. This means that living things have passed their traits from one generation to the next. There are very little changes that occur with each generation, but over time these changes accumulate in each living organism. It is believed that all life on Earth has common ancestry that lived more than 3.5 billions of years ago (Park, 2008). Discuss how physical anthropologists examine/investigate evolution Paleoanthropology is a branch of paleontology that falls under physical anthropology. Paleoanthropologists study extinct primates and fossils. They use these examinations to further investigate...

...The comparison of hunting with gathering evaluates the nutritional consequences for the people that belong to foraging societies. Foragers have necessitated meeting their caloric needs through long-standing supplies of food, both qualitatively and quantitatively, to avoid malnutrition or starvation. Hunting and gathering have provided them with about the same amount of proteins, although they have needed to collect large quantities of edible plants to equal the outcome of proteins supplied by the relatively small pieces of meat. However, gathering has been less energy consuming than hunting because foragers could more simply locate vegetables in the forest or in the open ground than animals but even the scavenged animals have required humans covered longer distances to amass available carcasses than to cover distances to accumulate vegetable food. The major suggestion of the simultaneous use of hunting and gathering has been the development of a generalized alimentation through a mixed diet. Such a varied nutritional regime offers the foragers flexible eating habits that allow them to preserve a high income of proteins, even in times of scarcity of either animal flesh or eatable vegetation, and consequently escape starvation. Secondly, the contrast between hunt and gathering allows appraising the structural repercussions in foraging societies. In the light of the foraging techniques, including hunting and gathering, one is not amazed to discover that the foragers give emphasis...

...Be An Anthropologist Jodeci O.D. Mitchell AMU Amelia Clark ANTH 100 Evolution is the idea that biological species have changed over time. Evolution do not differentiate between humans or animals. Evolution was proposed by Charles Darwin and he believed that all species changed or evolved in some form from the same ancestor through natural selection. Since we know that evolution refers to a change over time, lets discuss evolution in the terms of physical anthropology. In the terms of physical anthropology, evolution means changes over a period or periods of times within living organisms. This basically means that the traits that occur within living organisms are passed through generations. There may be very little change that occur from generation to generation, but over time each organism gather these changes. Paleoanthropology is a branch of paleontology that falls under physical anthropology. Within Paleoanthropology, paleoanthropologist study fossil remains and also extinct animals. Paleoanthropologist use the data that they find from the fossil remains to further study the evolution of the human species. The outside source I have decided to use related to my answer for question 2 is a journal named Fossil by Pat Shipman. In this journal, Dr. Shipman discusses fossils of early life and evolution. The journal gives facts and information pertaining to the time-lines, the types and the formations of fossils. This connects with physical anthropology, because like...

He taught her ways people lived in an engaging manner. Intellectual home. Subject matter was to live differently and freely than she had ever done before. Or to analyze the way other people live. Graduate degree city university New York. Went to mackny the same as Fred, a different place away from New York City, the last unknown away from the city. It was the thing to do at the time, to leave. She does not think it is acceptable to do field work far away from home. Share their tribal secrets with them, singular terms of humanity, write them in an ethornogophy. Fred dads was a scientist, did well in biology. Expanding your own experience, adventures, see things that most people wouldn’t see other perspectives.

First eskimo, later various north west coast languages. Do it yourself linguistic in terms of field work. Out of all his students, Saphir was the only one who came out as a professional’s linguist.

...Romana Haider ANTH 1400: Digging the Past Chapter three Where? Archaeologists are known for finding the excavating sites because through excavating archaeologists find out important information about the past. Before any field work can begin for an archeologist, he or she must first make a plan. This is called a research design. This design has four components. The first one is called formulation of research strategy, second one is collecting and recording of evidence, third processing and analysis evidence and the last one is publication. In chapter 3 they will be discussing the second component of the research design. In the textbook they used three methods to locate sites using ground reconnaissance. First one is documentary sources, then cultural/resource management and lately reconnaissance survey. The first one is used to locating recent sites, second one is sites that will be destroyed I believe. They locate record and excavate before it is destroyed. And the last one, this can be either unsystematic, where you can search anywhere on the site or systematic where there area is like a grid and you have one square to do your findings in. After that the textbook start talking about aerial reconnaissance. In aerial reconnaissance there are three subtopics....

...Post-processual archaeology is a humanistic approach that focuses on the individual person, artifact, or culture rather than explaining the human past based solely on generalizations and the use of the scientific method. Post-processual allows archaeologists to examine the human past through multiple perspectives and this theory reject processual archaeology because it uses the scientific method to understand the human past. The Ethics of Applied Anthropology section in the ANTH 302 Moodle page, has helped me understand many of the ethical issues anthropologists might face in their professional careers. While I was organizing the geology collection, I was disturbed by several of the items I found in small boxes hidden away inside a bigger box containing DWP reports. These small contained, posters, news articles and other memorabilia from the National...

...Be an Anthropologist American Military University Define evolution (using textbook and/or lecture notes) Charles Darwin proposed that all species changed over a period of time. During this period of time, species evolved; some stayed the same, and some changed drastically. Some flourished and some became extinct. This occurred by the process of natural selection (Park, 2014). DNA changes over time, which can cause mutations which effect the future production and growth of an organism. There is no set amount of change an organism will see, if it sees any at all. Discuss what evolution is in terms of physical anthropology. In physical anthropology, evolution is the change of living organisms over time, studying how they adapt with their environment and the stresses that go along with it (Park, 2014). From one generation to the next, there are specific aspects or traits of an organism that stay the same, and there are some that are constantly evolving. These changes can occur over billions of years and go unnoticed in short periods, but are significantly different in a lengthy time period. Discuss what a physical anthropologist may examine/investigate in order to study evolution (e.g. population DNA). One aspect of physical anthropology that examines and investigates the process of evolution would be Paleoanthropology. Paleoanthropologists are individuals who study extinct organisms or fossils. It’s important to understand that they are not searching for human ancestors...
