  • BI 210: Biology and Human Culture

    3.00 Credits
    Mount Mercy University

    The course will explore the interaction between culture, evolution, and biology from a variety of perspectives in a seminar format. The customs of different cultures are often determined by and/or affected by biological factors. These will be studied from a proximate and ultimate (evolutionary) standpoint in a comparison of both non-Western and Western cultures to better understand and appreciate different cultural practices and beliefs, how they evolved, and what implications they have for the world. Students also will investigate a custom of their choice to ascertain the biological and cultural origins and significance of the custom. This course can serve as an option within either the multicultural studies or natural science component of the general education curriculum, but it will not count for major/minor biology credit. Prerequisites: One course selected from general education writing courses, sophomore standing.
