Description:

A course in physical anthropology and archeology that covers the evolution of nonhuman and human primates over the past five million years. The chronological organization of the course includes the development of evolutionary theory in the 19th century, genetic theory in the 20th century, the fascinating story of how small, primitive hominids became upright and brainy tool users, and how eventually cultural evolution began to outstrip biological evolution in human development. Special attention is also given to one species of non-Human ape (as Bonobo). The course ends at 20,000 years ago with the emergence of modern Homo sapiens.
