3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Introduction to the field of behavioral endocrinology, with particular focus on primate, especially human behaviors. Examination of the relationship between hormones and behavior using an evolutionary and comparative approach, and consider both how hormones influences behavior as well as how behavioral interactions regulate endocrine physiology. The early part of the course covers basic endocrine system physiology and function, then focuses on hormonal influences on primate social behaviors, such as male and female reproductive behaviors, courtship, parental care, bonding and attachment, as well as aggression and territoriality. Other topics include stress, hormones, and health. Same as IB 437. 3 undergraduate hours. 4 graduate hours. Prerequisite: IB 150 and ANTH 143; or an equivalent course in behavioral ecology, primate behavior, physiology or psychology; or consent of instructor.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Life history seeks to explain why differences exist in the pathways that organisms follow from conception to death. Examination of the diversity in the evolution of primate (including human) life histories. 3 undergraduate hours. 4 graduate hours. Prerequisite: ANTH 102, ANTH 143, ANTH 240, ANTH 243 or equivalent.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Principles of evolution and a survey of human evolution from the early primates through the Pleistocene epoch; emphasis on evolutionary theory as applied to humans and interpretation of the fossil record. 3 undergraduate hours. 3 or 4 graduate hours. Prerequisite: ANTH 220 or an introductory life sciences course, or consent of instructor.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Principles of human genetics; anthropological aspects of race and race formation; and hereditary and environmental factors in the biological variation of modern humans. Same as ANSC 441. 3 undergraduate hours. 3 or 4 graduate hours. Prerequisite: ANTH 102 or equivalent.
-
3.00 Credits
Same as ANSC 466 and IB 429. See IB 429.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Survey of primate social behavior and the classification, morphology, and distribution of living and extinct species; emphasis on interrelationships among behavior, biology, and ecology. Same as IB 428. 3 undergraduate hours. 3 or 4 graduate hours. Prerequisite: ANTH 240 or consent of instructor.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Supervised participation in biological anthropology research projects; techniques, methods, and procedures discussed and practiced under actual field or laboratory working conditions. Normally taken concurrently with ANTH 445. 3 undergraduate hours. 4 graduate hours. May be repeated if topics vary. Usually offered in the summer session only. Prerequisite: ANTH 240 or equivalent; consent of instructor.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Analysis, interpretation, evaluation, and organization of field and laboratory data in biological anthropology; preparation of written reports on research. May be taken concurrently with ANTH 444 or subsequently. 3 undergraduate hours. 4 graduate hours. May be repeated if topics vary. Usually offered in the summer session only. Prerequisite: ANTH 240 or equivalent; consent of instructor.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Theories and methods for interpreting behaviors inferred from the human and primate fossil record. Topics include discussions of adaptation, methods of inference in historical sciences, and practical experimental approaches to understanding aspects of diet, locomotor behavior and social organization in species known only from the fossil record. Same as IB 403. 3 undergraduate hours. 4 graduate hours. Prerequisite: ANTH 240.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Considers lifeways of Hunters & Gatherers both in the ethnographic and archaeological records. It focuses on the disparate natures of the two data bases, reviews the theoretical literature treating the utility and limitations of ethnographic analogy, and examines a series of components of life in these simpler societies (e.g. subsistence, settlement, social organization, ideology, etc.). 3 undergraduate hours. 4 graduate hours. Prerequisite: ANTH 220 and ANTH 230.
