Institution:

Northeastern Illinois University

Subject:

Anthropology

Description:

Bones hold an enormous amount of information about individuals and populations. This exciting class will actively investigate what can be 'read' from bone in the disciplines of forensic anthropology (reconstructing age, sex, trauma, etc., in modern human remains); bioarchaeology (reconstructing health/disease, diet, demography, etc., of past human populations); paleoanthropology (fossil record of human evolution) and vertebrate phylogeny (reconstructing lineages and relationships of different species from evidence in bone). Class activities include hands-on labs, group discussions, lectures by area researchers, Field Museum trip, and more. First year students only.
