ANTH 323 - Food For Thought: Nutritional Anthropology

4 credits
An evolutionary and cross-cultural exploration of the complex nature of the human experiences in satisfying needs for food and nourishment. The approach is biocultural, exploring the interaction between the biological basis of human food choices and the cultural context that influences food acquisition and choice. Explores the relationship between nutrition and health from an evolutionary perspective, exploring how an understanding of diet and food preferences in our distant ancestors affects us today. Other themes to be explored may include the sociocultural context of human foodways and the political economy of food. Students will have the opportunity to understand the co-evolutionary relationship of humans and their food systems, as well as how the physical well being of humans is affected by their food systems. Prioritized registration for Anthropology majors/minors at junior/senior standing.  Prerequisite: ANTH 103 . CLA-Breadth/Interdisciplinary, CLA-Diversity International, CLA-Writing Intensive
