Prerequisite: 43, or consent of instructor. Recommended: statistics. GER:DB-NatSci 3 units, Aut (Dirzo, R; Vitousek, P)
-
3.00 Credits
(Same as HUMBIO 119.) Demographic methods and their application to understanding and projecting changes in human infant, child, and adult mortality and health, fertility, population, sex ratios, and demographic transitions. Progress in human development, capabilities, and freedoms. Relationships between population and environment. Prerequisites: numeracy and basic statistics; Biology or Human Biology core; or consent of instructor. GER:DB-SocSci 3 units, Spr (Tuljapurkar, S)
-
3.00 Credits
(Same as BIO 200.) Molecular mechanisms that govern the replication, recombination, and expression of eukaryotic genomes.

-
5.00 Credits
(Same as ANTHRO 6, ANTHRO 206, HUMBIO 6.) The human fossil record from the first non-human primates in the late Cretaceous or early Paleocene, 80-65 million years ago, to the anatomically modern people in the late Pleistocene, between 100,000 to 50,000 B.C.E. Emphasis is on broad evolutionary trends and the natural selective forces behind them. GER:DB-NatSci 5 units, Win (Klein, R)

-
3.00 Credits
(Same as BIO 209B.) Continuation of 109A/209A. Genetic drift: the path of human predecessors out of Africa to Europe and then either through Asia to Australia or through northern Russia to Alaska down to the W. Coast of the Americas. Support for this idea through the histocompatibility genes and genetic sequences that predispose people to diseases. Guest lectures from academia and pharmaceutical companies. Prerequisite: Biology or Human Biology core. GER:DBNatSci 3 units, Spr (Heller, R)
