Ecuador.

ANT 2410

Cultural Anthropology, is a General Education course that seeks to understand why people throughout the world today and in the past differ in their customary ways of thinking and behaving. Culture is the primary means for human survival, establishing how populations adapt to specific physical and social environments. Through the observation and analysis of diverse cultural adaptations such as subsistence patterns, reproductive strategies, marriage customs, kinship organization, political and economic systems, religion, art, and music, students develop an understanding of why and how cultures change.
