ATH 155 (Exam 1)
"Race" theory - ✅✅ -Evolutionism influenced anthropology in 19th century to
posit that reason human cultures differed was because they represented
separate subspecies of humans or "races."
3 Branches of Cultural Anthropology - ✅✅-1. Ethnology
2. Archeology
3. Linguistics
4 Fields of Anthropology - ✅✅-1. Cultural Anthropology
2. Linguistics
3. Archeology
4. Physical Anthropology
Acclimatization Adaptation - ✅✅-Occurs at the level of the individual anytime
during a person's life
Adaptation to Elevation - ✅✅--Increased blood oxygen saturation = hemoglobin
-Breathing faster
-Larger blood vessels
-Larger lungs
Alfred Russell Wallace - ✅✅ --Simultaneously cam up with natural selection
-Also recognized warning coloration
-Raised issue of human impact on environment in 1800
Allen's Rule -✅✅ --Limb length is directly related to temperature
-Long limbs in hot climates, short limbs in cold climates
Anatomy of a Eukaryote -✅✅-DNA goes in the nucleus
Ancestry in Forensic Anthropology - ✅✅--One part of the biological profile in
forensic anthropology is ancestry
-This is not a cultural designation but a biological one
-That's why we say "ancestry"
, Anthropological Curiosity - ✅✅ -Anthropologists generally focus on typical
characteristics of a population such as traits or customs.
✅✅-Study of language
Anthropological Linguistics -
Anthropological Theory - ✅✅--Until 1700s, all knowledge abut Earth came from
religious doctrine
-Voicing opinions contrary to Bible, were hazardous to one's health
Anthropology - ✅✅ -Study of humans from the perspective of all people and all
times, including their biological, cultural, and environment
Applied Anthropology - ✅✅ -Half of anthropologists are applied or practicing
anthropologists
-Specializations: economic, political, physiological, cultural, etc.
Archeology - ✅✅-Tries to reconstruct history from remains
-Material culture
Associations or Relationships - ✅✅-When two or more variables tends to be
related in a predictable way
Behavioral traits - ✅✅ -Natural selection can also operate on the behavioral
characteristics of populations that are made up of individuals
Bergman's Rule - ✅✅ --Body size is inversely related to temperatures
-Small bodies in hot climates, large bodies in cold climates
Biological Anthropology - ✅✅ -Study of human biology within framework of
evolution with an emphasis on the interaction of biology and culture
-Primatology
-Human Paleontology
-Human Variation
Bottlenecks - ✅✅ -Reduction in genetic diversity due to a sudden loss of alleles
- possibly by natural disasters, disease, or migration
"Race" theory - ✅✅ -Evolutionism influenced anthropology in 19th century to
posit that reason human cultures differed was because they represented
separate subspecies of humans or "races."
