	Julian Steward
		Julian Steward was born on January 31, 1902 in Washington, D.C. Stewards' family were Christian Scientists and, therefore, did not necessarily encourage the study of the sciences in the home.
		Steward attended the University of California at Berkeley as a college freshman where he was first exposed to the writings of Alfred Kroeber and Robert Lowie.
		Steward also discovered the first known instance of irrigation of wild food plants and focused on the interaction and work of ordinary life of a society.

	Julian Haynes Steward, January 31, 1902—February 6, 1972 \| By Robert A. Manners \| Biographical Memoirs
		JULIAN HAYNES STEWARD, anthropologist, was born in Washington, D.C., the son of Thomas G., chief of the Board of Examiners of the U.S. Patent Office, and Grace Garriott, whose brother, Edward Garriott, was chief forecaster of the U.S. Weather Bureau.
		But it remained for Steward to emphasize the importance of culture and its effects on the environment, in a sense to relegate the natural habitat to the role of dependent variable in determining the lifeways of the group, society, or region.
		Because Steward was diligent in the use of empirical data in his theoretical formulations, a few critics have labeled his results inductive or empirical generalizations.

		Steward wrote that the concept involves both a problem and a method: "The problem is to ascertain whether the adjustments of human societies to their environments require particular modes of behavior or whether they permit latitude for.a certain range of possible behavior patterns" (1955:86).
		Steward demonstrated for almost every activity that the lone worker was the most effective unit and that the environment was so poor in resources that people had to scatter thinly over the landscape to gather enough to eat.
		Steward's first important article on the ecology of hunters and collectors was not on the Shoshoni but was based on research in secondary sources and dealt with what he termed the "patrilineal band" (Steward, 1936).

		Steward was born in Washington, D.C. in the year of John Wesley Powell’s death (indeed, a paternal relative had accompanied Powell on one of his expeditions).
		Steward’s interest in “subsistence” (in environment, work, and social organization) struck Kroeber as eccentric, but his training with Sauer and his growing friendship with fellow student Duncan Strong reinforced his scientific inclinations.
		Steward met Nyswander, a psychologist, in 1925 and married her in 1930, leaving Michigan to join her at the University of Utah, where she was an established professor.

	Ecological Anthropology
		Steward demonstrates that lower population densities exist in areas where the tree is sparsely distributed, thus illustrating the direct relationship between resource base and population density.
		Steward’s theories are presently regarded as examples of specific evolution, where cross-cultural regularities exist due to the presence of similar environments.
		Steward sought the causes of cultural changes and attempted to devise a method for recognizing the ways in which culture change is induced by adaptation to the environment (Steward 1955:4).

		Steward also referred to a culture's "core", which is the combination of cultural features that intercede humans and environment.
		Steward's cultural ecology is directly related to the cultural evolution, which leads us to another of his great intellectual contributions, multi-linear evolution.
		Steward's was a material oriented explanation, one of the first in a meaning oriented anthropological world.

		Julian Steward is an Neoevolutionist who focused on relationships between cultures and the natural environment.
		Steward’s evolutionary theory, cultural ecology, is based on the idea that a social system is determined by its environmental resources.
		Steward’s evolutionary theory is called multilinear evolution because the theory is based on the idea that there are several different patterns of progress toward cultural complexity.

		Julian Steward (1902-72) is best remembered in American anthropology as the creator of cultural ecology, a theoretical approach that has influenced generations of archaeologists and cultural anthropologists.
		This generous biography by Virginia Kerns considers the intellectual and emotional influences of Steward's remarkable career and provides insights into the development of anthropology during his lifetime.
		Through her exploration of Steward's career and his particular interest in men's labor, Kerns illustrates how Steward's concept of the patrilineal band was central to his intellectual work and grounded in his own social experiences and autobiographical memory, especially memories of place.

	Notes on the development of cultural ecology
		Julian Steward, a student of Kroeber working among indigenous groups in the American Southwest, first advanced the ideas which are generally viewed as the foundations of cultural ecology.
		Steward proposed focusing on that part of culture or a "culture core" (Figure 1) which he saw as most immediately connected to the physical world, meaning the subsistence or productive strategies within a culture.
		Criticism of the 'functional' nature of Steward's brand of cultural ecology seem misplaced when the full scope of his theoretical ideas are accounted for.

		Steward (1902-1972) was one of the foremost American exponents of cultural ecology, the idea that societies evolve in adaptation to their human and natural environments.
		JULIAN STEWARD AND THE GREAT BASIN also corrects long-standing misperceptions that originated with Steward about lifeways of the Indians living between the Great Plains and California.

		JULIAN HARES STEWARD January 31, 1 902-February 6, 1972 BY ROBERT A. JULIAN HAYNES STEWARD, ANTHROPOLOGIST, was born in Wash- ington, D.C., the son of Thomas G., chief of the Bo arc!
		Livingston Farrand, then president of Cornell and himself an anthropologist, nurtured Steward's continuing interest in anthropology- temporarily sidetracked by circumstances and urged him to return to Berkeley and its reigning triumvirate for his doctorate in anthropology.
		On the whole, and despite the wealth of Steward's contri- butions recorded during his years at the BAE, it is generally agreed that his most concretely impressive achievement dur- ing his tenure was the organization, staffing (over 100 sci- entists were involved), and editorship of the six-volume Hand- book of South American Indians.

		Julian Steward (1938) wrote the baseline ethnography on aboriginal Shoshone and Paiute groups of the Basin-Plateau culture area.
		Furthermore, if a prediction is made about what that distribution look like, and the actual distribution turns out to closely resemble the model, does that resemblance document the probability that Stewards picture of life in the Basin-Plateau area is applicable not only to the historic period, but also to the prehistoric period?

		It is interesting to note that biographies of Leslie White and Julian Steward have both recently appeared.
		I was struck in the course of my research on him at how central to the discipline he was today both institutionally (in his numerous administrative appointment) and theoretically—here was a student of Kroeber and Lowie with impeccable Boasian credentials who returned to evolution and a kind of macro-theory that was alien to Boas.
		I’m not particularly impressed with the large group studies on modernization, or Steward’s musings on the subject, but it is worth noting that his brief stay at Columbia in the late 1940s and early 1950s produced more block-buster anthropologists than White’s entire teaching career.

		This hybrid biography considers the intellectual and emotional influences of Steward's remarkable career and provides insights into the theoretical development of anthropology during his lifetime.
		Rather, Kerns aims to demonstrate that autobiographical memory and the personal construction of meaning had a direct and creative influence on Steward's intellectual work as an anthropologist, most obviously by channeling his attention, sensitizing him to certain aspects of human social life, and deflecting his attention from others.

		Jacket notes: Julian Steward (1902-72) is best remembered in American anthropology as the creator of cultural ecology, a theoretical approach that has influenced generations of archaeologists and cultural anthropologists.
		In Steward’s case, it’s clear that the questions directing his theoretical work had their source in autobiographical memory.
		He had a distinctive voice in mid-century anthropology in part because of the attention he gave to the land; to the landscape itself and to the animals, plants and water that sustain human life.
