Explore the development of human culture after the emergence from Africa and entrance to the Americas. Students of Tracking the Footsteps of Humanity will get the “rest of the story” as modern humans spread throughout the globe, committed to agriculture, and established global civilizations. Students that have not taken Tracking the Footsteps of Humanity, will have no problem jumping into the story as people begin to settle down on a global scale. The course will introduce archaeological and anthropological methods, theory, and findings through the lens of six broad topics. Class meetings include lectures, discussions, and readings.
Class 1: The Archaeology of Hunters and Gatherers
Class 2: Domestication
Class 3: Origins of Complexity
Class 4: Complex Hunters and Gatherers
Class 5: Archaeology of Food and Fermentation
Class 6: Archaeology of the Modern World
