ANTH 455 - Cannibalism


4 Credit(s)

Cannibalism has been a controversial topic in anthropology for many years. The debate about the extent of cannibalism in past and in modern groups, and its meaning, has recently been reignited by the publication of several studies in the past couple of years that provide evidence of cannibalism as far back as Neanderthals and from pre-historic Native American groups. This course is designed for upper division anthropology students to study the history of cannibalism, and to evaluate and debate the possibilities raised in the recent literature. A minimum of Junior standing required. As warranted.
