• ANTH 1100: INTRO TO BIOLOGICAL ANTHROPOLOGY

  3.00 Credits

  Central Wyoming College

  
  Anthropology is the comparative study of the whole spectrum of human existence and culture across time and space to address fundamental questions about what we are and why. In other words, the geological, climatological, biological, cultural processes, and circumstances that created human variation through time and around the world. The sub-discipline of physical anthropology examines humans as biological organisms. Broadly, the course is a survey of basic physical, or biological, anthropology including origin, evolution, and biological nature of the human species and non-human primates. Topics include field and laboratory research methodologies, technologies, interpretive theories, and principles used in paleontology and other branches of physical or biological anthropology; genetics and the mechanics of evolution; non-human primate and pre-human origins and evolution; the fundamental theories and principles associated with the origin, evolution, and interdependent biological and cultural adaptation of homo sapiens; the immense variation in human adaptation (including dependence on technology); global human dispersal and settlement, including modern migration due to environmental, social, political, economic or other causes.

• ANTH 1200: INTRODUCTION TO CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY

  3.00 Credits

  Central Wyoming College

  
  Cultural anthropology is the systematic analysis of social organization, diversity, and adaptation. This social science uses well-developed field research and interpretive theories and methodologies to understand human cultural adaptation and variation. Cultural anthropology explores the complex interrelationships of environment, family, kinship structures, political and religious organization, gender, race, and ethnicity, technology, economy including acquisition of goods and cultural modes for production of food and other necessities, arts, and language of cultures from around the globe. This course examines evolving adaptations to environmental, economic, socio-political and other changes or stresses within and between cultures from around the globe. The course examines complex relations between groups within modern nations, particularly as formerly isolated ethnic and indigenous groups encounter globalization, migration, and transnational's, and are further impacted by cultural contact, tourism, diseases, environmental issues, etc. (3 lect.)

• ANTH 1210: CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE

  3.00 Credits

  Central Wyoming College

  
  This course is a broad survey of human biological and cultural evolution. It examines the relationships between humans and their environments, in other words, how climate has affected human experience and culture through time and around the globe. The course uses a holistic, anthropological perspective to examine how hunter-gatherers, agriculturalists, and industrial societies have tried to adapt to and control climate and food production through religion and technology. Global climate is currently changing at an unprecedented rate which is problematic as culture is conservative and resistant to change. Wild fluctuations in temperature and precipitation, catastrophic storms and melting ice caps present us with increasingly difficult and costly challenges. (3 lect.)

  3.00 Credits

  Central Wyoming College

  
  This course provides hands-on practical training in field research methods typically emphasizing systematic surface survey methodology, use of mapping instruments, recording prehistoric and/or historic sites, controlled excavation of stratified cultural deposits, analysis of prehistoric and/or historic material cultural remains, and other tasks. Experience is gained in the context of day-to-day operations of long-term field research projects designed to locate and collect specimens, and generate records and data that will support further laboratory analysis. The student will apply skills and competencies in written and oral communications directed toward eventual publication of research results. The student will utilize?new-found professional knowledge, skills and abilities will make important contributions to the research of regional history and prehistory while they are learning field methods. Through discussions and practical applications, the student?will develop a thorough understanding of how their work in the field relates to the project research design. Due to the potentially sensitive nature of the findings, confidentiality is mandatory.? Related workshops, tours, and discussions include plains cultural history, dating methods, zoological analysis, public archaeology. As a field methods course, in addition to contributing to the success of an archaeological research project, the student?will work and live in remote locations requiring participants to safely camp and hone interpersonal skills while working and living together as a group for the duration of the project. The student will do their share of camp chores as a requirement of their participation in this course. This is a physically demanding field course requiring physical fitness for the student to walk on rough ground, occasionally while carrying heavy, awkward equipment by hand or in backpacks; dig large holes with hand tools; bend over or kneel for long periods of time; and work and live outdoors in a variety of inclement weather conditions. The student must have health insurance. Prerequisites: None. (3 lect.) (Max 9) Prerequisite:    Currently Not Available Corequisite:    Currently Not Available
