BIO 109 - Human Evolution

Institution:

Le Moyne College

Subject:

Description:

This course draws upon human paleontology, cultural anthropology, psychology, human physiology and evolutionary biology to examine both modern human biology and culture. Issues such as mate choice, mate fidelity, aggression, “drug” dependence are just a few of the factorsthat were once considered to be exclusively determined by culture but which might have a more evolutionary source. For these reasons, the study of human origins has the potential to enormously impact our understanding of what it means to be human. Three hours lecture per week. Does not carry biology major credit.
