This course uses an evolutionary approach to investigate human biological and bio-cultural variation in time and space. Through a study of the basics of population genetics, an evaluation of our closest living relatives, nonhuman primates, and an exploration of the biological and cultural pathways traversed by our ancestors to become modern Homo sapiens, students learn the depth and complexity of the human story. Laboratory exercises dealing with human genetics, hominin fossils, and evolution are integrated with lectures to give students hands-on learning experience. No credit earned if credit received for ANTH 413.

Race, culture, and power intersect at a social space where those in that space experience differing opportunities and access to social and economic privileges, resources, and power. This course explains the way race functions today as a social and cultural category to justify systematic inequality and differences in power and to obscure the functioning of the global economy. The course draws on emerging literature on Blackness, Whiteness, and Minorities and on analyses of the differential implementation of social welfare policies in the United States.

Want to learn more about Mayan beauty pageants in Guatemala?  Indigenous movements in southern Mexico?  Want to know more about Latin American migrants’ experiences in the United States?  Who the muxe are?  Then this is the course for you!  In this course, we’ll examine issues like these in contemporary Latin America and the Spanish Caribbean from the perspective of socio-cultural anthropology, based primarily on books and articles that draw on extensive ethnographic research.  We’ll use these in-depth descriptions to learn about all aspects of life in this fascinating region: pre- and post-colonial history and experiences, the role and politics of race, gender, religion, globalization, the drug wars, indigenous movements, media, health and medicine, and the relationship between Latin American and its neighbors to the north.  The purpose of the course is not to survey the entire region in one semester—not a realistic task—but to introduce you to some of the most central questions raised by anthropological research in Latin America and the Caribbean, and to develop critical thinking skills as we delve into real-world, contemporary, global issues.  Each class will be made up of a mixture of lectures, class discussions, and films.
