This anthropology laboratory uses a biocultural and evolutionary perspective to introduce students to the study of humans and non-human primates as biological and social organisms. Covers primate evolution and biological relationships past and present, the fossil record of humans and our ancient relatives, and genetic, social, and environmental bases for the biological variation of living humans. Students will learn basic skeletal anatomy and use this information to reconstruct evolutionary shifts. Students will also identify evidence for disease and demographic shifts during major adaptive transitions and historical events such as agriculture, urbanization, and colonialism. Offered by Sociology & Anthropology. Limited to three attempts.
