The course takes a comparative approach to cultures, and the principal themes will be the evolution of agriculture; technology; cities, states and empires; the interpretation of art; adaptation to the environment and the spread of human populations. Knowing how to interpret archaeological evidence will give you a new, critical perspective on the development of the human race.
