MEAD AND THE SACRED DOG

A HISTORY OF FOOD AND THE BIRTH OF CIVILIZATION

The following article is offered by Green Comma as a discussion resource for use in grades 9–12 classrooms as well as in freshmen college classrooms. The principal writer is KP Dawes, a writer and editor living in Chicago, IL. KP has worked in the education and publishing fields for almost twenty years, five of which were spent as an instructor of a course entitled “Food History and Culture.” His sci-fi young adult novel, KOPPER, is available for purchase on Amazon.

Amit Shah, managing director, Green Comma, suggests that classroom instructors preview the post, the embedded links, and, at least, the summaries of the books suggested at the end of the post prior to suggesting the reading to students.

This perspective on the history of civilization does mention topics that are not ordinarily discussed in high school or junior college classrooms.

All opinions are solely that of the author.
