UCSB Anthropology Brown Bag Lecture Series Presents:

An Examination of Human Spatial Psychology

By Barty Thompson

This talk will examine the potential design and effects of psychological adaptations that may have evolved to enable humans to use their surrounding lands and spaces in a beneficial manner. Specifically, some of the effects of these psychological mechanisms relate to land attachments, territoriality, and the tendency for humans to identify with certain spaces. A model will be offered that can be used to help comprehend human spatial psychology. Summary data on land tenure practices of hunter-gatherers in general and the Mistissini Crees specifically will be presented to analyze the model.
