Timelines

QOD: What is the difference between a physical and cultural anthropologist?

Some students struggled with this question, but we spent a fair amount of time reviewing the concept and I am confident that students have a solid understanding.

A physical anthropologist will focus on the body of man. They would be interested in examining remains of those deceased as well as studying the way that the body functions. On the other hand, a cultural anthropologist would be more interested in the way that people behave in terms of tradition, religion, family life, and other cultural aspects of mankind.

We ended with a discussion of timelines and that will be further introduced in class tomorrow when students create their own timelines.
