This Intro-to-Anthropology 2020 class explored evolutionary thought with two readings:
- “Evolutionary Thought and Theory” in Through the Lens of Anthropology (note: link is to the 3rd edition, but page numbers and quotes for this class are to the 2nd edition).
- Agustin Fuentes, “Human niche, human behaviour, human nature.” Interface Focus (2017)
This class followed on the previous discussion of Primates and then transitioned into Hominins as part of human biological evolution.
This material was for Introduction to Anthropology 2020. For a 2021 update, see Evolution is Life in Process using the textbook Anthropology: What Does it Mean to Be Human?
