Applied anthropology

  1. Watch Mystery of Easter Island.
  2. Read the article Rethinking the Fall of Easter Island and answer the following questions (turn in at the end of 7th period) (having a hard time understanding the article try reading this)
    1. How did Jared Diamond describe the fall of Rapa Nui?
    2. Who is Thor Heyerdahl and what did he claim about the populating of Rapa Nui?
    3. Who is Terry Hunt?
    4. What is his theory for the collapse of Rapanui?
    5.  How does his theory differ from Jared Diamonds?
    6. Create a timeline outlining both the Diamonds view of the collapse of Rapanui and Hunts view on the collapse of the island.
