If you're interested in holistic family health issues in Sacramento and are also interested in medical anthropology or ethnobotany, how would you like to join the Sacramento Anthropological Society? It's open to members of the public as well as students, faculty, and alumni of CSUS. If you're not affiliated in any way with the university, you can still join with associate membership and come to the meetings and events.
Perhaps you're interested in the health-related topics, issues, and links to Sacramento 'junk' as archaeology? Read, Junk! Archaeology of the Pioneer Junk Store [Sacramento, California], 1877-1908, by Mary Praetzellis & Adrian Praetzellis, 1990 (original edition, softcover; while supplies last).
The purpose of the Society is to further interest in the field of Anthropology in particular and Social Science in general. The field of holistic family health on a local basis is related to the field of medical and nutritional anthropology which are branches of social science.
Can social sciences eventually merge with medical anthropology, nutritional archaeology, DNA-driven nutrition and holistic family health research? You might wish to explore medical and nutrtional anthropology topics or even archaeogenetics.The activities of the Sacramento Anthropological Society will be directed toward this aim of exploring local anthropology and/or archaeology. There's even a field of study exploring nutritional archaeology--what people ate in the past and how their food affected their health and the health of their families. You can read the constitution of the Sacramento Anthropological Society online. See the website of the CSUS Department of Anthropology.
