ANTH 331 Midterm 2 || WITH COMPLETE
SOLUTIONS!!
Traditional belief of Anthropology correct answers Biology matters - that dimorphic human
bodies are important in explaining behavioural differences
Biological Asymmetry Argument correct answers - In all human populations there are
consistent morphological and physiological differences between the sexes
sexual division of labor correct answers allocation of work on the basis of sex
What are males assigned in the division of labour? correct answers Males are producers
(hunters)
What are females assigned in the division of labour? correct answers Females are reproducers
(pregnancy, childcare)
Sex roles Definiton correct answers The differential tasks/jobs females and males do that are
biologically determined
Gender roles definition correct answers the differential tasks/jobs that males and females do
are culturally prescribed
"Man the Hunter" Model correct answers Is a reconstruction of what early human life may
have looked like. It upholds/presents a very early division of labour which is based on
biology and is hierarchal
Take home point from the Agta Women reading correct answers Women are not totally
unaffected by pregnancy and childcare; but not immobilized by it either
Males as active care-takers in history take home point correct answers Shortened birth
intervals. Males helped reduce energetic burdens on mothers by carrying young. Freeing up
energy for females to reinvest back into their own bodies.
Gettlers research take home point correct answers Childcare can be transferrable
Hyde's research finding correct answers Supports gender similarities hypothesis
The exceptions of Hyde's research correct answers - Motor performance (grip strength,
throwing velocity, throwing distance)
- Measures of sexuality (okayness with causal sex)
- Physical aggression
Categorial Differences correct answers by "kind", males and females can be lumped into
separate groups (between sex variability is high)
Dimensional differences correct answers by "degree", individual scores are dispersed along a
continuum (within sex variability is high)
