Knоwn аs the “fаther оf Americаn anthrоpology,” ________ believed that cultures cannot be ranked as higher or lower. He taught his students that all humans see the world through the lens of their own culture. He believed that it is the job of the anthropologist to record the variety of ways humans in distinctive cultural groups perceive and interact with their world through that cultural lens. In 1871 ________, the person who would become the first professor of anthropology at Oxford University, introduced a definition of “culture” which is still widely quoted. He said “Culture…taken in its widest…sense, is that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, arts, morals, law, custom and many other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society.” Evidence supporting the conclusion that human language has a biological basis includes the fact that maturing humans acquire their first language in the same sequence of steps at about the same age everywhere around the world. The MIT linguist __________ has proposed that the ease of language acquisition by children suggests that they are born with an innate knowledge of grammar (that they have “universal grammar” built into their brain). Chimpanzees at Gombe Stream, Tanzania harvest ants by fishing in ant colonies using sticks modified for the purpose. Chimpanzees at Kibale, Uganda never engage in this behavior. In a 1999 Nature article, chimpanzee researchers from 7 different study sites cited this as one of 39 behaviors that indicate that chimpanzees show evidence of _______ behavior. Compared to chimpanzees, human cultures have more evidence of _______. The rate of change of human cultures can be fast or slow but cumulative change over time has not been documented for chimpanzees. As shown in the film Trobriand Cricket, _______ is a way to keep important cultural traditions alive by merging them with newly introduced customs like British cricket. As demonstrated in the video “Trobriand Cricket,” human cultural behavior affects many domains of behavior not seen in chimpanzees. This includes highly coordinated group behavior like chanting and dance, body decoration and the use of _______ in an attempt to influence outcomes. The shaman is paid to invoke ______ to influence the weather for the day of the cricket match. [Note the same term is used in both blanks] Anthropologists have been especially interested in the study of groups who subsist via _________ since this is the pattern which characterized our species for hundreds of thousands of years (i.e. for all but the last 10,000 years of human existence). When comparing food acquisition by chimpanzees with food acquisition by human foraging groups, Kaplan and associates found that modern human foragers focus on _________foods which must be extracted or hunted while chimpanzees get most of their calories from collected food like fruit and leaves. In contrast to chimpanzees, human hunters kill prey animals that can be large, dangerous or difficult to detect. In contrast to chimpanzees, human hunters (like the Netsilik) carry the results of the hunt back to a ______ where it is distributed to other members of the group according to cultural rules. ________cultivation is mostly practiced in the tropics where soils have low fertility. It is a form of horticulture in which naturally growing vegetation is cut and allowed to dry, then burned to ash. This ash fertilizes the soil for a few seasons of domesticated plant production. In contrast to foraging groups, horticulturalists have a concept of private _________. Individuals can accumulate a surplus and the beginnings of social stratification can be seen. However, prestige is gained by re-distributing wealth and this insures that economic inequities are not great among horticulturalists. _________societies are able to turn cellulose (which humans cannot digest) into meat and milk by herding grazing animals (who have the ability to digest cellulose). As seen in the class video, the Basseri of Iran provide an example of this kind of adaptive strategy. Among those who practice ______ as a means of subsistence (e.g. the Trobriand islanders), the village leader can influence the behavior of others in the village but cannot coerce it. The large food surpluses produced by ________societies create the formally recognized differences in wealth and status known as classes. Craftsmen, administrators, soldiers and other labor specialists emerge along with money and a trade economy. _____, terracing and the use of domesticated animals (to plow land and to provide manure fertilizer) are characteristic features of pre-industrial agriculture. This provided higher crop yields than horticulture and allowed permanent cultivation of the same plot of land.
