USGG 1011 - Intro Anthropology (0 Credit Hours)


Lecture Hours: 0 Lab Hours: 0
Introduction to Anthropology is a survey of all 4 major subfields of Anthropology: cultural, biological, linguistic, and archaeological. We will approach each of these subfields using Ireland as our primary example. You will be able to experience all of these four subfields of anthropology yourself through field trips, museum visits, and most importantly by living in Waterford for 5 weeks. Anthropology is unique in that it attempts to study biological and cultural aspects of humans from all over the world and from all time periods, both historic and prehistoric. This is the holistic approach that defines anthropology and sets it apart from other disciplines. We will be discussing the four major subfields individually and collectively, stressing a biocultural approach to anthropology. You will gain in-depth knowledge of the anthropology of Ireland from all subfields of the discipline.
