1.00 Credits
Basics of functional morphology (including elementary biomechanics), an overview of connective tissue structure and mechanics, and a systematic overview (from head to toe) of human anatomy from a functional perspective. Emphasis on connective and other tissues involved in functioning of the musculoskeletal system (primarily bone, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and muscle). Prerequisite: Evolutionary Anthropology 93 and 133L or 134L. Instructor: Churchill or Staff
-
1.00 Credits
Introduction to human biology from an evolutionary perspective. Biological variability and its genetic and ecological underpinnings, with emphasis on modern variation and adaptation. Discussion of biological and social factors that determine health. Principles of heredity, development, evolution, adaptation, and epidemics presented using examples from a cross cultural perspective. Students develop scientific reasoning skills and examine the role of human biology in society. Impact of major problems facing humanity today, such as population displacement and global warming.Pre-requisite: Evolutionary Anthropology 93 or Biology 25L. Instructor: Staff
-
1.00 Credits
The ecology of extant and extinct foraging societies; focus on human behavioral solutions to subsistence problems associated with different environments (tropical/neotropical forest, boreal forest, coastal, arctic, grassland/savannah, desert). Topics include edible resource distribution in varied environments and its relationship to mobility and subsistence strategies in modern hunter-gatherers; and the archeological and fossil evidence for the evolution of human subsistence behavior. Prerequisite: Evolutionary Anthropology 93 or Biology 25L. Instructor: Churchill
-
1.00 Credits
The study of ecology using primates as examples. Primate diversity and biogeography; dietary specializations, use of space; plant-animal interactions, community ecology; the concept of the niche and methods used in ecology. The basics of human ecology and the role of ecology in conservation. Includes occasional labs. Pre-requisite: Evolutionary Anthropology 93 or Biology 25L. Instructor: Digby or staff
-
1.00 Credits
Survey of field methods used to document primate behavior. Laboratory includes observations of free-ranging and captive primates at the Duke Lemur Center. Focus on the scientific process; writing of formal research papers. Prerequisite: Evolutionary Anthropology 93 or Biology 25L. Instructor: Digby
-
1.00 Credits
Sociobiological theory reviewed and applied to the social behavior of non-human animals, hominids, and humans; the evolution of altruism, cooperation, competition, mating strategies, parental care and morality. Prerequisite: Evolutionary Anthropology 93 or Biology 25L. Instructor: Digby
-
1.00 Credits
Sociobiological theory reviewed and applied to the social behavior of nonhuman primates, hominids, and humans. A seminar version of Evolutionary Anthropology 146. Prerequisite: Evolutionary Anthropology 93 or Biology 25L. Instructor: Digby
-
1.00 Credits
An introduction to medicolegal anthropology and death investigation. Topics include crime scene protocol and body recovery, basics of osteology, determining time since death, making personal identification, determining the manner and mode of death, postmortem modification of skeletal remains, protocols for mass disasters, human rights applications, and courtroom testimony. Open to both majors and non-majors. Instructor: Churchill
-
1.00 Credits

-
1.00 Credits
Introduction to the functional anatomy of the lower extremities. Students locate, identify, and dissect all major muscular, nervous, vascular, bony, and soft tissue structures using cadaveric specimens. Students participate in the dissection. Instructor: Moorman
