This course examines human environment interactions in time and space from an anthropological perspective, and reviews the advantages and limitations of the ecosystem approach as previously and presently applied to human studies. Human behaviour and how it has evolved are studied using models such as optimal foraging strategy, population regulation, carrying capacity and bioenergetics. Environmental anthropology is also discussed within the context of human ecology. PREREQ: ANTR 1006/1007 or instructor’s permission.
