Write My Essay For MeThe primary goal of this exercise is for the student to further examine evolution from the perspective of two subfields in anthropology. The all-encompassing nature of evolution will be illustrated, and students will have the opportunity to explore the holistic nature of anthropology.
Description:
Anthropologists study many different aspects of humanity in order to fully understand the diversity of the human species. One of these aspects concerns our development as a species, both physically and culturally. For the assignment, the student will first discuss and investigate evolution as viewed by physical anthropology, and then the student will investigate and discuss evolution from one other subfield ??” cultural, linguist, or archaeological.
Directions, in essay format:
1) Discuss what evolution is in terms of physical anthropology (see Ch3).
2) Define evolution (using textbook and lecture notes)
a. This should include APA-formatted in-text citations and full references
3) Discuss what a physical anthropologist may examine/investigate in order to study evolution. (e.g. population DNA)
4) Discuss ‘how’ a physical anthropologist would study your answer for Q3 and why it is helpful for studying evolution.
5) Find at least one outside source related to your answer for Q3 and Q4 (e.g. the genome project for DNA, or http://www.mscc.cc.tn.us/webs/cgregory/biol2010_skeleton_checklist.pdf for bones).
6) Briefly describe the source and how is it helpful for examining/investigating evolution.
a. This should include APA-formatted in-text citations and full references
7) Choose a second subfield of anthropology ??” cultural, linguistic, or archaeology.
8) Discuss how an anthropologist in this subfield would study evolution.
a. Remember, evolution can apply to both physical and societal changes, so things like language and customs can evolve just as much as bodies and brains can.
9) Discuss what an anthropologist from your chosen subfield may examine/investigate in order to study evolution (e.g. an archaeologist may look at how tools have changed through time, and what has caused that change)
10) Discuss ‘how’ an anthropologist from your chosen subfield would study your answer for Q3, and why it is helpful for studying evolution.
11) Find at least one outside source related to your answer for Q3 and Q4 (e.g. the genome project).
12) Briefly describe the source and how is it helpful for examining/investigating evolution.
a. This should include APA-formatted in-text citations and full references
13) Discuss how the study of evolution between physical anthropology and your chosen subfield compare and contrast.
14) Conclude by discussing one new piece of information you learned about evolution.
15) Be sure to write your paper using APA-formatting.
