Subject Description

This subject will examine the biological and cultural contributions to human behaviour as they are manifested in the dominant institutions of human societies and the ways in which the life cycle is dealt with in various parts of the world. The development of human societies in reaction to internal and external forces of change will be the perspective from which we will consider kinship, politics, religion and economics. There will be a regional emphasis on Australia and the Pacific.

A collection of readings will be available from the Department.
