Using an evolutionary framework, we examine how past and current human variation is measured, our place in nature, human genetics, human and nonhuman primate biology and behavior, the primate and hominin fossil record, and the origin and meaning of human biological and behavioral variation. Students gain experience in biological anthropology methods, data analysis and interpretation, and the theoretical frameworks that guide our understanding of what it means to be human. Must be registered for the Biological Anthropology Lab. (Lab 15 hours).

In-depth treatment of innovations and developments in anthropological thought. Emphasis on explaining what is essential about particular theoretical frameworks and their integration across anthropological subdisciplines. Required for majors and minors in anthropology.

-
5.00 Credits
Fundamental concepts related to the study of primate behavior and ecology. Course focuses on the theoretical frameworks that guide primate behavioral studies including in-depth empirical exploration of adaptation, comparative primate behavior, ecology, field studies, and classification. How do we know what we think we know? Critical evaluation of core concepts in primate behavioral ecology as well as data collection, presentation, and interpretation in primate field studies.
-
5.00 Credits
How do we know what we think we know about human evolution? Students explore this question by reading primary literature, examining fossil and comparative data, and exploring current technology for interpreting hominin evolution. Class reviews evolutionary theory and the varying levels with which paleoanthropological analysis can be applied to understanding past and present variation.
-
5.00 Credits
Emphasizes the study of health and disease in ecological perspective; the influence of culture on the ways people explain and treat illness, stress, and healing; and the complexities of health care delivery in pluralistic societies.
-
5.00 Credits
Using physical remains to learn what we can about the age, gender, and other characteristics of deceased people, including their nutrition, exposure to diseases, experience with serious accidents, and causes of death.
-
5.00 Credits
The world and people have changed radically in the last 10,000 years with the domestication of plants and animals and the development of cities and states. We examine the archaeological evidence in different regions of the world (after 12,000 B.C.) to understand how and why these transformations occurred.
