课程简介
Food is at the foundation of all human cultures. From an archaeological perspective we address one of the most significant technological changes in human history: the transition from hunting and foraging to food production (agriculture) and its many cultural, nutritional, and environmental consequences. In our contemporary world, faculty investigate how, despite our highly efficient agricultural systems, food insecurity remains a pervasive and intractable global problem that affects us right here in North Carolina. We also seek to understand the health consequences of modern food systems and their links to obesity, malnutrition, and other diseases.<br><br>Our environment is complex, variable, and ever-changing. This is as true today as it has been in the distant past. As anthropologists, we seek to explain how some societies successfully adapted to environmental changes while others failed. We challenge the simplistic notion that past civilizations collapsed as environmental conditions exceeded their adaptive capacity. Instead, we seek to understand how people re-organize or disperse in response to climatic and ecological change. Especially in the present, we see that environmental conditions do not simply determine cultural response and we seek to understand how culturally mediated perceptions of the environment affect human responses. Some faculty work in the driest parts of the world where crops can hardly grow. Complex irrigation systems have allowed large civilizations to thrive while mobile pastoralists constantly adjust their herd sizes to cope with rainfall variability.<br>Our human foodways and the evolutionary paths we have taken over millennia have provided us with the technology and biology to inhabit all regions of the Earth. Underlying our archaeological and biological understandings of human adaptation is a deeply cultural realization that much of what we have accomplished as a species has come at a terrible cost to our planet's ecosystems. Thus, we pose fundamental questions of how sustainable our current food systems and evolutionary trajectory are given climate change, economic inequalities, and our over-consumption of Earth's resources.
