Expanded Course Description
| Anthropology 220 is an introduction to Nutritional Anthropology, which is a subfield of biological anthropology and it satisfies general education requirements for the science group. In this course, we study human nutrition through a biocultural lens. Thus, we focus on its scientific underpinnings and particularly on nutrition in relation to evolutionary adaptation, which means that we address ways in which culture both influences and is influenced by Homo sapiens’ relation to food.
Beginning with the scientific method and the biocultural perspective, the course examines nutrition in relation to evolution, adaptation and subsistence strategies, drawing on contemporary issues. Subsequently, we expand on the discussion of adaptation to include the role of environment, disease, in hunger, starvation, malnutrition and infant nutrition with special emphasis on the evolutionary feedback between environment, culture and globalization. In the final part of the course, we will come full circle to relate some contemporary nutrition issues in the news to the themes of the course.
