    Demographic Uniformitarianism: the Theoretical Basis of Prehistoric Demographic Research 5 and Its Cross-Disciplinary Challenges

    1 Accepted for publication 16/03/2020 at Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B (Special 2 Issue: Cross-Disciplinary Approaches to Prehistoric Demography) 3 4 Demographic uniformitarianism: the theoretical basis of prehistoric demographic research 5 and its cross-disciplinary challenges 6 Jennifer C. French1 & Andrew T. Chamberlain2 7 1 UCL Institute of Archaeology, 31-34 Gordon Square, London WC1H 0PY UK 8 [email protected] 9 2 Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Manchester, Stopford Building, 10 Oxford Road, Manchester, M13 9PT, [email protected] 11 12 13 Abstract 14 A principle of demographic uniformitarianism underpins all research into prehistoric demography 15 (palaeodemography). This principle—which argues for continuity in the evolved mechanisms 16 underlying modern human demographic processes and their response to environmental stimuli 17 between past and present— provides the cross-disciplinary basis for palaeodemographic 18 reconstruction and analysis. Prompted by the recent growth and interest in the field of prehistoric 19 demography, this paper reviews the principle of demographic uniformitarianism, evaluates how it 20 relates to two key debates in palaeodemographic research and seeks to delimit its range of 21 applicability to past human and hominin populations. 22 23 Keywords: Prehistoric demography; Uniformitarianism; Population dynamics; Life History; Archaic 24 hominins 25 1. Introduction 26 Like many historical sciences, prehistoric demography relies on a doctrine of uniformitarianism for 27 some of its foundational principles. Uniformitarianism is the adherence to the axiom that processes 28 that occurred in the past (and so cannot be directly experienced) were nonetheless likely to 29 resemble those that are observable in the present day.

Prerequisites: Some social science background Course Description: This course provides an advanced introduction to anthropological theory and methods designed for food and nutrition science and policy graduate students. Section 1 covers anthropology's four-field modes of inquiry, cross-cutting theoretical approaches and thematic interest groups, their respective institutions and intellectual concerns. Section 2 demonstrates applications of these concepts and methods to cutting-edge food and nutrition issues. Assignments and activities incorporate background readings, related discussions, and short writing assignments, plus an anthropological literature review on a focused food and nutrition project, relevant to their particular interests. The course overall encourages critical thinking and scientific assessment of anthropology's evidence base, analytical tools, logic, and meaning-making, in the context of contributions to multi-disciplinary research and policy teams. Weekly 3-hour sessions feature an introductory overview lecture, student-facilitated discussion of readings, and professor-moderated debate or exercise illustrating that week's themes. Throughout the term, participants keep a written reading log (critical response diary), to be handed in week 3 and 6. In lieu of a mid-term exam, there are two 2-page graded written essay assignments, due weeks 4 and 8. The term-long food-and nutrition proposal- writing project will explore anthropological literature on a focused food and nutrition question, with an outline due week 9, and a short literature review and annotated bibliography due week 12.

    Spring 2021 – Course Descriptions (as of October 29, 2020) Undergraduate: Anthro 101 Biology, Culture & the Human Experience This course provides an introduction to Biocultural Anthropology, the integration of biology and culture in the study of humankind. There are many facets of the human experience that are at the same time biological, social, and imbued with cultural meaning. Examples include race and racism, sex and gender, reproduction and birth, health and medicine, global nutrition, obesity, stress and mental health, violence, and trauma, and others. The course will introduce students to perspectives from social, cultural and biological anthropology and then bring these perspectives into play to investigate and illuminate these examples of the human experience. One of the key goals in the class is to better understand how individuals' lived experience becomes embodied as human biology.

Geographic variability in food habits and diet across the globe are the result of unique forces of biology, environment, history, and culture in the development of nutritional patterns. In addition, food and the rules regarding its consumption are among the strongest symbolic elements of culture. Therefore, the integration of both biology and culture is foremost in nutritional anthropological studies. We examine a broad range of literature from anthropological theory, biological anthropology, archaeology, historical anthropology, and modern field studies to understand the evolution of the human diet, human diet through ancient and modern times, the collection of nutritional data, and modern challenges to the study of culture and nutrition. The course is structured as a seminar in which weekly participation and discussion are critical. I will present a brief overview of the weeks topic followed by student presentations and discussion.

    A3 7 A SEMANTIC ANALYSIS OF THE SYMBOLIC AND NON-SYMBOLIC FUNCTIONING OF CERTAIN TABOO TERMS USED IN THREE CONTEMPORARY FILMS THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By Marilyn Anne Hurlbut Denton, Texas August, 1976 Hurlbut, Marilyn Anne. A Semantic Analysis of_ the Symbolic and Non-Symbolic Functioning of Certain Taboo Terms in Three Contemporary Films. Masters of Arts (Speech Communication and Drama), August 1976, 225 pp., bibliography, 120 titles. This thesis examines four taboo words (Jesus, God, fuck, ass) used in the films Jaws, Shampoo, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. The dominant method of research is semantic, drawing on language theories of I.A. Richards and Alfred Korzybski. Investigation led to these conclusions: (1) Symbolic use of taboo terms is accompanied by positive attitudes, while non-symbolic use, which is more frequent, is accompanied by negative or neutral attitudes. (2) Casual non-symbolic pronunciation is leading to separation of the symbol from its referent. (3) Through this methodology, it is possible to ascertain the speaker's intent and his attitude toward the audience, but not his attitude toward the referent. TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter Page I.

Available at: http://digitalcommons.wayne.edu/humbiol/vol81/iss2/11 Climate and Demography in Early Prehistory: Using Calibrated 14C Dates as Population Proxies Abstract Although difficult to estimate for prehistoric hunter-gatherer populations, demographic variables—population size, density, and the connectedness of demes—are critical for a better understanding of the processes of material culture change, especially in deep prehistory. Demography is the middle-range link between climatic changes and both biological and cultural evolutionary trajectories of human populations. Much of human material culture functions as a buffer against climatic changes, and the study of prehistoric population dynamics, estimated through changing frequencies of calibrated radiocarbon dates, therefore affords insights into how effectively such buffers operated and when they failed. In reviewing a number of case studies (Mesolithic Ireland, the origin of the Bromme culture, and the earliest late glacial human recolonization of southern Scandinavia), I suggest that a greater awareness of demographic processes, and in particular of demographic declines, provides many fresh insights into what structured the archaeological record. I argue that we cannot sideline climatic and environmental factors or extreme geophysical events in our reconstructions of prehistoric culture change.

Defining palaeodemography: aims and scope 25 26 Demography is the study of human populations and their structure, i.e. the composition of 27 populations, and the subdivision of the metapopulation into smaller subunits. Palaeodemography 28 refers to the study of the demography of ancient populations for which there are no written sources 29 (broadly synonymous with ‘prehistoric demography’) [1]. Palaeodemography shares the core 30 aims of its present-day counterpart; namely, to document and explain changes within, and 31 variations between, the size and structure of human populations. However, by definition, no direct 32 demographic data–equivalent to modern-day censuses or registration forms–exist for prehistoric 33 populations. Instead, palaeodemographic information is derived from a wide range of proxies, 34 which only indirectly inform on demographic processes and parameters. 35 1 36 Accordingly, at present we consider palaeodemography to be less an independent field akin to 37 demography proper, and more an interlinked set of cross-disciplinary interests sharing the 38 common aims of reconstructing and analysing prehistoric population histories.

    INTRO TO NUTRITIONAL ANTHROPOLOGY ANTHROPOLOGY 220 SPRING 2018 Class Time: Anytime you have a web connection Location: Anywhere you have a web connection Instructor: Evan Simons Email: [email protected] Office: 369 Condon Hall Office Hours: Email anytime and meeting by appointment _____________________________________________________________________ Course Overview: What is your favorite and least favorite food? What dish have you never eaten before? Everyone has an answer. Why? Food is fundamental to life, it’s animal physiology, and nutrition is affected by cultural perceptions. The goal of this course is to challenge you to think critically about food, health, and nutrition. In other words, to explore these topics from an anthropologic (biological and cultural) and scientific (method and hypothesis testing) approach. This course will focus on the evolution of the hominin diet, and the ecological and cultural factors shaping modern diets. We then place this into a broader primate evolutionary context. The first part of the class will introduce students to the fundamentals of nutrition and the analyses of nutritional and health status. The second part will examine variation in human and primate diets from an evolutionary and comparative perspective. This part of the course will also involve an energy balance project that all students must complete. In the last part of the class, students will examine ecological and cultural factors that shape contemporary human diets. This includes factors that contribute to undernutrition and overnutrition, as well as the biological consequences of food access and nutritional choices. A final project will conclude the course, and all students will submit a research paper on an approved topic of their choice.
