Question 1. Biological anthropologists rely on material remains (bones, tools, etc.) to understand humans' evolutionary history. review and analyze the work of anthropologists in a site where remains of hominins were found (early hominins, Homo habilis, and/or Homo erectus). The purpose of this assignment is to:

Situate the site in a historical and geographical perspective (where is it located, who lived there, and when);
Provide a detailed description of the remains found, as well as how these remains were dated; and
Explain how these remains contribute to our understanding of hominin evolution

Question 2. Since the foundation of anthropology as an academic discipline, a major dimension of cultural anthropology has been to explore and compare the diversity of human groups. For this assignment, select a modern day linguistic and cultural group (other than the Dobe Ju/Hoansi) whose worldviews and cultural practices are substantially different from those in the United States (for example, the Tuareg, the Kalash, the Hmong, the Yoruba, the Quechua, the Inuit, etc.). Using at least two major themes developed in the course (economic systems, kinship and family, political organizations, etc.), explain predominant values and norms associated with this culture, contrast these with similar practices in the United States, and explain how both are increasingly affected by global processes
