Abstract
This paper examines the development and emergence of environmental anthropology, moving from the study of non-industrial societies and their adaptation to their environments, particularly with the trends of cultural ecology, neo-evolutionism, and cultural materialism. It then moved to the study of current environmental issues with political ecology, which has focused heavily on issues of power, economic and political hegemony, and their connection to the depletion of natural resources and environmental destruction. It then focused on issues of equality and environmental and social justice, adopting a multidisciplinary approach and new research methods to understand the environmental problems associated with industrial society and pushing it toward adopting models of sustainability and adaptation.
