ANT 365 - Magic, Science, and Religion


3-0-3

An anthropological exploration of the idea that magic, science, and religion are found in some form in all human societies. Emphasis on the diversity of sacred belief and behavior recorded by ethnographers; evolutionary and other models of the origins and functions of sacred practices and institutions; and roots of science found in the cosmologies, myths, and ecological models of ancient and small-scale societies.
