Subsistencethe market as economic organizing principle is very recent in terms of human historyeconomy oriented toward subsistence (food getting & production) the norm for most of human historyagriculture (cultivation) also recent (10,000 yrs ago)for 100,000 years of human history - foraging (food getting) was the economy of human life

Cultural Ecology
Julian Steward - relationship between culture and the environmentcultural variation found in adaptation to environmental circumstancesHuman ecology is the system & systematic relationships between humans, material life, & environmentenvironment not determinant -- societies react to their ecologytypology of cultures, patterns, sequences

Steward’s cultural ecologyconstellation of features which are most closely related to subsistence activities & economic arrangements
social, political, religious patterns as are empirically determined to be closely connected with those arrangements

Specific or multi-linear evolution
specific evolution - adaptive processes in a particular society in a particular environment; changes in one society rather than human society in generalMulti-linear evolution - cultures have followed different lines of development (rather than general processes), particular to each environmentStrategies of adaptation - adjustments that individuals make to obtain & use resources and to solve immediate problems

FORAGING
hunters & gatherers, gatherers & hunters, fishingfood getting is dependent on naturally occurring resources, plants & animals
Naturally occurring?
Little or no human modification

Features of Foraging
small communities in sparsely populated areas
few hundred people related by kinship & marriage
mobile lifestyle - no permanent settlements
no individual land rights
size of community may vary from season to season, culture to cultureBand form of social organization
![Page 17: Economy and Adaptation Human diversity understood in terms of environment & technology Emphasis on: Constraints: land, technology, population Systematic,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e155503460f94affd69/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Foraging & Social Organization
Egalitarian band societies – little social stratificationsocial stratification by age & gender (no classes)division of labor - age & gender
![Page 18: Economy and Adaptation Human diversity understood in terms of environment & technology Emphasis on: Constraints: land, technology, population Systematic,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e155503460f94affd69/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Foraging and Gender

gender - great deal of diversity
tendency is for men to hunt & women to gathergathering contributes more to daily diet than huntingwomen & men share equal status - more or less, egalitarian societyWhere hunting & fishing dominate - the status of women is lower
![Page 20: Economy and Adaptation Human diversity understood in terms of environment & technology Emphasis on: Constraints: land, technology, population Systematic,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e155503460f94affd69/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Eleanor Leacock on Foragers and Social Stratification
egalitarian societies do exist where men and women can do different jobs and remain separate but equal
Dual sex societies
Control over exchange of scarce resources is related to social stratification in foraging groups

Forager Mode of ProductionCollective ownership of means of production (land and its resources)Right to reciprocal access
Little emphasis on accumulation (ethos opposing hoarding)
Total sharing throughout camp
Equal access to tools necessary to acquire food Individual ownership of tools

Horticulture or Ecological Agriculture
Some human modification of environment
gardens & fields & technology
cultivation method that works in a variety of environments - most common in temperate and tropical forests & savannasCultivation that works with, and to varying extents, mimics the natural ecology
![Page 31: Economy and Adaptation Human diversity understood in terms of environment & technology Emphasis on: Constraints: land, technology, population Systematic,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e155503460f94affd69/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Horticulture/Ecological Agriculture
growing crops of all kinds with relatively simple tools and methods, in the absence of permanently cultivated fieldsbreak up soil only using hand tools, hoes, spades, sharpened sticksclear land for planting with simple tools, knives, axes, and fire is used to remove trees and grassesLittle if any use of fertilizersLittle if any effort towards increase supply of water to the fields

Horticultural MethodsSlash & burn
Associated with poor tropical soilsInitially big trees are clearedBrush is cut and left to dryBurned before arrival of rains providing a little fertilisation and clears the plot of weedsAfter several years of use must lie fallow
Swidden- a garden cultivated by the slash and burn technique.

characteristic features - horticulture
size of settlements are larger than foragersmore stable sources of food available
tend to aggregate into villages - settlements are more permanent, investments of labor into fields, encourages sedentismcompared to foragers horticulturalists their family and kin invest labor in improving a specific and relatively well defined territory
property rights = access to resourceseach group laying claim to a specific area for clearing, plantings, residence by applying their labor to it

they’re inefficient, wasteful, ignorant Destroyers of the rain forest

they rotate cropsthey’re efficient and sustainablethey have great knowledge of forest resources and desire to maintain the forest their livelihoods are threatened by state and international political and economic processes

Agriculture - intensive cultivationa variety of techniques employed that
enable the cultivation of permanent fieldsLarge-scale human modification of land, plants, animals

Agricultural Techniquesnutrients back into the fields, use of fertilization and multi croppingPlant species are manipulated & fully domesticateddomesticated animals and fertilization, turned loose into fields after harvest, manure, nutrients back into soilmore intensive weedingIrrigation, dams and runoff, stored water & reservoirs, streams rechanneled, terracing controls water on hillside & mountains

characteristic featuressedentism, large permanent communities - villages, towns, citiesgrowth in population size & densitysurpluses - a cultivator can feed many more people than just him or her self and familymore need to coordinate land, labor, resourcesmore need to regulate relations through governing bodies tributes, taxes, rents, private property

advantages of herding as adaptation
vegetation of grasslands & arid savannas & of tundra is indigestible by humanslivestock turn it into milk, blood, fat, meat all of which can be eaten or drunk by herderslivestock provide insurance against unpredictable environments of drought & low yieldsmobility - herds can be moved to fresh grass and water, avoid the tax man
