- As I am taking the counterpart of this course, Anthro 101, I needed the lab in addition so it would count as satisfying the IGETC requirements. However, I did choose to take anthropology itself because its always fascinated me. Many people that I know who had no prior desire to take these courses came out of them with a new interest. One of my friends even received an associate's degree in it, so there are many reasons for me personally to look forward to this class. One of the topics that interests me is "Early Hominin Fossils: The Australopithecines". I've always been intrigued by paleontology and on my own time look into fossils and learn about recent discoveries. Prompt 2: I have taken many online classes at this point. The biggest factor in determining whether or not I was able to succeed in the class was the consistent follow-up and willingness to clarify questions by the teacher. If the communication was flawed, it was much more difficult for me to follow prompts without…arrow_forwardWhile early arm chair anthropologists and social scientists believed there was a hierarchy of cultures, and that societies evolved in a linear direction from primitive to civilized, ethnographic fieldwork and participant-observation with indigenous societies transformed the way anthropologists view the world and the many peoples who inhabit it. Why do anthropologists now reject this hierarchical view? How have ethnocentric views led to misunderstandings, misrepresentations, and mistreatments of people in small scale societies? What evidence do anthropologists offer of the complexities and cultural significance that people in these societies offer the world? Based on the readings and videos of the hunter-gatherer (also called foraging) societies this week (The Ju/'hoansi, Inupiaq and Koyukon), why do anthropologists argue that it is ethnocentric and incorrect to view such societies as inferior or backward?
