    Midterm – Essay Questions


    Due Thursday, October 3rd

    This take home exam constitutes part one of your midterm. Part two will consist of the online
    exam that you take on the day these questions are due. The midterm exam (both parts combined)
    is worth 25% of your total grade.

    Each question addresses a topic from a different chapter (1-7) in your textbook. Choose ANY
    FIVE of the eight questions below to answer. You should use at least a paragraph or two to
    answer each question. Your answers should completely address the questions you choose since
    each one is worth 15 points (for a total of 75). Be sure to number your answers correctly so I
    know which five questions you are focusing on. I will, in part, be grading you on your writing so
    I recommend you proof-read your work. If you have any questions, please let me know.

    1. What does it mean when anthropologists claim that their discipline is holistic,
    comparative, and evolutionary? (Chapter 1)

    2. How would a scholar following the work of Lamarck explain the evolution of the
    elephant’s trunk? How would a Darwinian explain it? (Chapter 2)

    3. Why have paleontologists rejected the parallel evolution interpretation for the
    relationship between Old World and New World monkeys? (Chapter 3)

    4. Drawing on the information presented in Chapter 5 and the article you read by Alison
    Brooks, discuss what it is you think makes us (Homo sapiens) human. Be sure to
    support your answer with examples from your readings. (Chapter 4)

    5. Discuss the interaction of human cultural practices and biological selection pressures
    operating on human populations with regard to the sickle-cell genotype. (Chapter 5)

    6. What are the major differences between processual and postprocessual archaeology?
    (Chapter 6)

    7. Using the Natufians as an example, discuss the multiple strands that seem to have led
    them to domestication. (Chapter 7)

    8. Choose two or three of the explanations offered for the rise of social complexity.
    Describe how each accounts for the development of social complexity. What are the
    limitations of each theory? Does one seem more convincing to you? Why? (Chapter 7)
