3.00 Credits
(3.0 Units) (No prerequisite. Three lecture hours weekly.) This course is the study of evolutionary theory as a unifying theory that encompasses human variation and human evolution. The course covers modern evolutionary theory and its history, genetics, and the human genome. Students will learn about primates, including behavior, anatomy, and features of the skeletal system. Instructors will cover selected topics in forensic analysis, archaeological theory and methodology, scientific method, and an overview of the most significant fossil sites that relate to human evolution. The field is changing on a daily basis, with new information being uncovered pertaining to our distant past and the progress being made in the study of the human genome. Primates in many areas of the world are under threat from human populations and efforts to establish protected areas are meeting with mixed success. The department has an extensive collection of fossil casts that allows students the opportunity to actually see them in person rather than relying solely upon photographs or descriptions. Some instructors may require field trips to local zoos, museums or lectures. (CSU/UC) AA/AS Area A, CSU Area B- 2, IGETC Area 5B, CAN ANTH 2
