Work of Anthropologists

Recall:

1. What do biological anthropologists study?
2. What do cultural anthropologists study?

 What skills, tools, methodology and questions do you think you will need to study a new culture?

 Our goal today is to learn

1. The METHODS anthropologists use to study the evolution of human beings.
2. The METHODS anthropologists use to study past and present human societies.
3. How to predict the pitfalls inherent in studying biological and cultural anthropological topics.

We'll all work together on a handout about studying a new alien civilization.

On Thursday, read through and watch the clips in this tutorial when you're finished.
