ANTH 0100 - General Anthropology

3 Credit Hours

This course is designed to present the elements of man as a cultural being. This is accomplished by viewing human development through three approaches within Anthropology: man as a biological animal, i.e., early and modern physical structure; the archaeology or material remains of civilizations; and man as the social organism, viewing the interdependence of social institutions. The emphasis in the course is on 1.) an appreciation of diversity, and 2.) the development of world cultures from earliest times through the global culture that we experience today. Modernization, Dependency and World Systems approaches are developed to explain the relationships between cultures.
