ANTHRO 3, WORLD ARCHAEOLOGY 3 UNITS
Transfer: UC, CSU IGETC AREA 4A (Social & Behavioral Sciences) • Prerequisite: None. • Skills Advisory: Eligibility for English 1.
This course is an introduction to the archaeological record documenting the evolution of human culture from the earliest stone tool makers to the primary civilizations of the Old and New Worlds. Topics include hunter-gatherer adaptations, the invention and spread of agriculture, and the development of civilizations. Archaeological techniques and methods are introduced as the means for understanding these developments.

ANTHRO 5, PHYSICAL ANTHROPOLOGY WITH LAB 4 UNITS
Transfer: UC, CSU • IGETC AREA 5B (Biological Sciences, + LAB) • Prerequisite: None. • Skills Advils Advisory: Eligibility for English 1.
A survey of human biology, this course focuses on human origins and evolution by investigating the major aspects of physical anthropology including Mendelian and human genetics, population genetics, primate and hominid evolutionary processes, contemporary human variability, and facets of primate ethology and human behavior that make our species unique in the animal kingdom. This course consists of three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory work weekly. The laboratory projects will parallel the lecture topics hence the lab projects will pertain to genetics, human variation, primate anatomy, human osteology, and analysis of hominid (human) and primate fossils. *Maximum credit allowed for Anthropology 1 and Anthropology 5 is one course (four units).

ANTHRO 9, PRINCIPLES OF PALEOANTHROPOLOGY 3 UNITS
Transfer: UC, CSU • IGETC AREA 5B (Biological Science) • Skills Advisory: Eligibility for English 1.
This course focuses on the paleontological record of primate and human origins. It examines the latest ideas on comparative primate and human paleobiology and places these developments within the conceptual framework of modern evolutionary theory.

ANTHRO 14, SEX, GENDER AND CULTURE 3 UNITS
Transfer: UC, CSU • IGETC AREA 4A (Social & Behavioral Sciences) • Prerequisite: None. • Skills Advisory: Eligibility for English 1.
This course presents a cross-cultural survey of the position of men and women within an anthropological framework. It assesses, in a comparative fashion, the biological basis of sexual differentiation and the cultural interpretation of these differences through “gender roles.” Comparative materials from tribal, non-western, non-industrial, and western cultures will be used to illustrate the variety of gender roles and expectations. The course focuses on cultural institutions as fundamental in creating, defining, and reinforcing gender roles. Economics, politics, the arts, religion, kinship, world view, and other issues which influence choices, opportunities, and limitations tied to gender will be examined.

ANTHRO 20, TRADITIONAL PEOPLES AND CULTURES OF AFRICA 3 UNITS
Transfer: UC, CSU • IGETC AREA 4A (Social & Behavioral Sciences) • Prerequisite: None. • Skills Advisory: Eligibility for English 1.
This course is a survey of general traditional African subsistence modes, illustrated by specific examples of cultures practicing a particular mode of life. Traditional kinship, political development, economic systems, religions, and the arts are studied in the context of culture areas and subsistence modes. The focus of the course is on societies before colonial penetration, but discussions of more recent issues are included when germane. The study of indigenous peoples is placed in the context of broader issues in the field of anthropology. Some of the mistakes arising from “naive realism” and ethnocentrism continue to hinder the study of traditional African societies. These biases and the resultant misconceptions are addressed.
