4 credits This course studies the adaptations of primates to their environments through time in terms of morphology, ecology, physiology, behavior, evolution, and fossil record. The course is composed of lectures, readings, films discussions, laboratory, and studies of exhibits at the Bronx Zoo and the American Museum of Natural History. An understanding of features shared by primates, especially those most closely related to humans, provides a necessary background for discussing human origins and evolutions.

4 credits Analytical descriptions of the anatomy, development, variation, anomalies, wear trauma, and pathogenesis of dental structures and surfaces, as well as of the dental masticatory apparatus as part of the cranium form the basis of this course. Human dental morphology and function are examined in the context of our primate and hominid evolutionary phylogeny. Forensic aspects of the human dentition are examined based on diachronic variants of socioeconomic and sociocultural organizations of human populations. A required laboratory component of 25 hours in working with dental collections from prehistoric and recent human populations provides additional training in dental anatomy and variation, forensics and pathology.
