2
Deme : local, interbreeding population that is defined in terms of its genetic composition (for example allele frequencies). Subspecies : group of local populations that share part of the geographic range of a species, and can be differentiated from other subspecies based on one or more phenotypic traits.
3
Race : in biological taxonomy, same thing as a subspecies; when applied to humans, sometimes incorporates both cultural and biological factors. Polytipic species : species that consist of a number of separate breeding populations, each varying in some genetic trait.
4
Monogenism – Polygenism
6
Environmentalism : the view that the environment has great powers to directly shape the anatomy of individual organisms.
7
Influenced by the work of Lyell’s uniformitarianism which lead to the idea of evolution as progress.
8
Tylor advocates the idea of cultures progressing through unilineal evolution. With unilineal evolution, that would indicate laws of thought and action. The idea of savagery civilization There are stages of culture which in turn allows for a ranking of societies. With a progressive approach and stages of culture the terms primitive, inferior, and superior are accepted as scientific.
9
Savagery Barbarism Civilization
10
Morgan divides savagery into three phases: Lower, Middle, Upper Lower Lower : earliest hunters, and ends with the invention of fire and fishing. Middle Middle : starts with fire and fishing and lasts until the invention of bow and arrow Upper Upper : ends with the development of pottery
11
Divided into three phases; Lower, Middle, and Upper Lower Lower : ends with domestication of animals (old world) and plants (new world) Middle Middle : ends with smelting ore Upper Upper : ends with phonetic alphabet and writing
12
Invention and discoveries Government Family organization Property
13
A prejudiced belief that members of one ethnic group are superior in some way to those of another.
14
A human group defined in terms of sociological, cultural, and linguistic traits.
15
Skin color Eye form Hair color and form Head shape
17
Population genetics : the study of genetic variation within and between groups of organisms. Microevolution : the study of evolutionary phenomena that occur within a species.
18
Polymorphic : two or more distinct phenotypes (at the genetic or anatomical levels) that exist within a population. Cline : the distribution of a trait or allele across geographical space.
23
Haplotypes : combinations of alleles (or at the sequence level, mutations) that are found together in an individual. Duffy blood group : red blood cell system useful for studying admixture between African and European derived populations.
24
Phylogeny : an evolutionary tree indicating relatedness and divergence of taxonomic groups. › Closely related populations share a branch: a lineage or a clade. › Branching points, or nodes, in the tree represent the separation or division of any pair (or groups) or populations.
27
Lactose intolerant : the inability to digest lactose, the sugar found in milk; most adult mammals (including humans) are lactose intolerant as adults.
29
Balanced polymorphisms : a stable polymorphism in a population in which natural selection prevents any of the alternative phenotypes (or underlying alleles) from becoming fixed or being lost. Frequency-dependent balanced polymorphism : balanced polymorphism that is maintained because one (or more) of the alternative phenotypes has a selective advantage over the other phenotypes only when it is present in the population below a certain frequency.
30
With reference to a particular genetic system, the situation in which a heterozygotes have a selective advantage over homozygotes (for example, sickle cell disease ); a mechanism for maintaining a balanced polymorphism.
32
Adaptability : the ability of an individual organism to make positive anatomical or physiological changes after short or long-term exposure to stressful environmental conditions. Acclimatization : short-term changes in physiology that occur in an organism in response to changes in environmental conditions.
33
Bergman’s rule : stipulates that body size is larger in colder climates to conserve body temperature. Allen’s rule : stipulates that in warmer climates, the limbs of the body are longer relative to body size to dissipate body heat.
