Q

Sexual Dimorphism

A

In Old World monkeys, there is a notable physical difference between males and females. For Apes: (chimpanzees) females are 88% the size of males. There is less difference in New World monkeys.

60
Q

The hilly flanks or vertical economy is analogous to the

A

garden of Eden (because food grew easily and didn’t require too much toil from humans)

61
Q

Agriculture origination in the Middle East

A

-When? Around 10,000 BP -Why? The end of the ice age brought greater regional and local variation in climatic conditions (foragers could adopt a sedentary lifestyle) also the Natufians needed to produce more food than what was available in the wild
-How? around 11,000 BP drier conditions forced the Natufians to adopt new subsistence strategies like moving the wild grains to a well watered area

62
Q

Impacts of the origin of agriculture

A

-intensive agriculture has significant environmental effects

63
Q

Domestication was the gradual result of attempts to recreate the Hilly franks economy in new _______

A

climates

64
Q

In contrast with broad spectrum foraging, domestication was more _______ and focused on a smaller number of food sources

A

specialized

65
Q

Wild Wheat/Barley

A

Wild: brittle axis, hard husks (brittle axis will break and seeds spread, insures future generation)

66
Q

Natufians

A

(12,500-10,500 BP) -worked out the initial adaptation to this array of climates
-Built permanent villages in the Hilly Flanks
-became sedentary to remain close to their grain
-Surplus!!

67
Q

Surplus presented 4 challenges

A
  1. greater organization of harvest 2. greater limitation of access
  2. increased routinization of distribution
  3. new limits on on consumption
68
Q

Key attributes of early cities/states

A
  1. larger and more densely populated than previous settlements 2. productive farming economies supporting dense populations, often including cities
  2. taxation (accumulate resources to support specialists, increased control and power)
  3. monumental architecture (signify the rights and status of the rulers)
  4. had some form of record-keeping, usually a written script (like cuneiform)
  5. social stratification (unequal access to wealth and power)
69
Q

Domesticated Wheat/Barley

A

-Hard axis, brittle husks (hard axis stays on the stalk, makes it easier to cut and transport) (brittle husks make it easier for people to break into)

70

-Bottom tier= food producers aka commoners, peasants

76
Q

Adaptive strategies (refers to main economic activity)

A
  1. foraging (hunting and gathering) 2. horticulture (small scale, not intensive, not permanent)
  2. agriculture (more permanent, higher yield)
  3. pastoralism (pastoralists consume milk, butter, meat from their animals as mainstays of their diet)
  4. industrialism
77
Q

Correlations and features (to adaptive strategies)

A

-more complex tools -permanent plots and fields (more labor intensive and sedentary lifestyle)
-increased specialization
-higher productivity
-radical alterations to the environment (deforestation)
-individual ownership over land and crops

78
Q

Foraging

A

-until 10K years ago, all humans were foragers -all foraging economies share one feature: people rely on nature to make their living
-in foraging communities, MEN usually hunt and fish while WOMEN gather and collect

79
Q

Horticulture

A

-the cultivation that makes intensive use of none of the factors of production: land, labor, capital, and machinery -horticulturalists make use of simple tools such as hoes to grow their crops

80
Q

Agriculture

A

-requires more labor than horticulture, and uses land continuously and laborously -sometimes includes irrigation, domesticated animals, and terracing (an ag. strategy is to put all eggs in one very big and dependable basket)

81
Q

Pastoralism

A

-people who focus on domesticated animals such as cattle, sheep, goats, camels, yak and reindeer -live in symbiosis with their herds

82
Q

Industrialism

A

-based on machines and chemical processes (fuel) which make it possible for the development of manufacturing, mass production and mechanization -produces specialized jobs

83
Q

Yehudi Cohen’s typologies (1974)

A

based on correlations: associations or co-variations between two or more variables(not perfent, some groups possess some correlated features but not all)
(NOT an evolutionary schema or mutually exclusive)

84
Q

Economics

A

the study of production, distribution, and consumption of resources

85
Q

Economic anthro

A

the study of economics in comparative perspective (like making a living and foraging for food) **(the part of the discipline that debates issues of human nature that relate directly to the decisions of daily life and making a living)

86
Q

Making a living VS foraging for food

A

until 10,000 years ago, there was NO difference between these two -this changed w/ the advent of domestication and new forms of food production based on farming (today, nearly 30K ppl make their living by foraging and its decreasing)

87
Q

Modes of production

A

ways of organizing production; “a set of social relations through which labor is deployed to wrest energy from nature by means of tools, skills, organization, and knowledge”

88
Q

Means of production:

A

major productive resources, such as land (territory), labor, and technology

89
Q

Production, Distribution and Exchange in Different Economic Systems

A

-Production in Non-Industrial Societies: traditional division of labor between age and gender, mutual aid in production. -Among food producers, rights to the means of production comes through kinship and marriage.
-Capitalist society bargaining is common; the buyer and seller trying to get their “max money’s worth”
-etc…

90
Q

Reciprocity principle

A

exchange between social equals that are usually tied by kinship, marriage or another close personal tie (it is more dominant in egalitarian societies, like cultivators, foragers, and pastoralists)

91
Q

Generalized reciprocity

A

exchange w/ no exception of immediate return (parent-child giving, foragers)

92
Q

Balanced reciprocity

A

exchange with anticipation of equal return

93
Q

Negative reciprocity

A

the attempt to get something for nothing (cattle raiders, expecting something selfishly)

94
Q

The Kula Ring

A

-Malinowski carefully traced a network of exchanges of bracelets and necklaces across the Trobriand islands, and established they were part of an exchange that was clearly linked to political authority -MWALI armband=male
-SOULAVA necklaces= female
-system based on trust, obligation and shame
-Kula objects must be passed on, taking 2-10 years to make full cycle
-creates social networks and marriage options

95
Q

Silent trade

A

also called silent barter; a method by traders who cannot speak each other’s language can trade without talking

96
Q

Redistribution

A

An example: A portion of our money earned goes to support the government but some comes back to us in the form of new roads, social services, health care, education

97
Q

Rationality Markets

A

-based on supply and demand -all-purpose money (as a relation substitute)
-fluidity, diversity, and diversity of exchange
-neutral relation w/ the other side of the exchange
(principles of exchange are NOT mutually exclusive)

98
Q

100
Q

Patrilineal descent

A

membership based on relatedness through MALE ancestors

101
Q

Potlatches and the profit motive

A

• Competitions to see who can give away the most stuff. Who is the most generous -do this to gain social standing and esteem -Classical economic theory: profit motive is viewed as a human universal, potlatching is IRRATIONAL and WASTEFUL
-Such a mindset is ETHNOCENTRIC and fails to consider alternative meanings and social function of potlatches
(CRONK argues that potlatching was a substitute for war AKA rivals can compete without shedding blood)

102
Q

Bilateral descent

A

associated with our society, kinship systems do not have descent groups (we consider our cousins from our dad/mom’s side all cousins)

103
