ANTH 356 - Human Variation

Institution:

Northeastern Illinois University

Subject:

Anthropology

Description:

People look different from each other. Can we be classified into races or do we follow some other pattern of variation? This provocative course will examine the role of heredity and environment in determining the world distribution of human biological traits. Students will study the adaptive significance of skin/hair/eye color, facial features, blood groups, body proportions, and other features. This course will also address the history of race biology studies and the far-reaching social and political motivation and implications of these early works. (B)
