Population genetics theory is the foundation of evolutionary biology and contributes heavily to modern ideas in ecology, systematics, and agriculture. This course is an introduction to that theory with special emphasis on evolution. Only one of A Ant 312 and A Bio 318 may be taken for credit. Prerequisite(s): A Ant 211 or A Bio 205 or 212.

This course teaches the application of methods from biological anthropology and archaeology to the recovery and analysis of skeletonized human remains.? The primary focus of this course is the application of these methods to investigations of unexplained deaths, including homicides, genocides, and mass disasters.?? Students will learn how to determine age at death, sex, ancestral affiliations, and stature from skeletal remains, and how to identify evidence of trauma and disease.? Other topics include forensic botany, forensic entomology, and DNA fingerprinting. Prerequisite(s): junior or senior class standing.

4.00 Credits
This course provides an introduction to human anatomy and physiology.? These topics refer to the form and function of the human body, and are presented together in an integrated two-semester course sequence.? This course focuses on basic concepts in anatomy and physiology, embryology, the peripheral nervous system, respiration, the cardiovascular system, and the musculoskeletal system of the upper limb, thorax and back.? The course provides a foundation for students interested in human biology, biological anthropology, medicine, and allied health professions. Prerequisite(s): Prerequisites: A Bio 110, A Bio 111, A Chm 120, A Chm 121.

3.00 Credits
This course will provide a broad introduction t the field of exercise physiology. Topics covered will include cellular energy metabolism, pulmonary and cardiovascular responses to exercise, muscle physiology, training, nutrition, bode composition, and exercise testing. Students will spend some time in the human performance laboratory where the focus will on be applied exercise physiology and performance testing. Specialized topics include exercise at high altitude, temperature regulation, sports nutrition, exercise performance during the growth and development period, and the relationship of exercise and physical activity to human health and disease. Prerequisite(s): A Bio 110 and A Bio 111.

Analysis of the pattern of human growth during the prenatal and postnatal periods and their variation around the world. The course focuses on the influence of social factors, nutrition, alcohol and cigarette use, race/ethnicity, pollution, and features of the physical environment which modify growth patterns. Prerequisite(s): A Ant 100, or A Bio 110 and 111, or A Bio 102 or A Bio 103Z or 103.

3.00 Credits
The human ability to produce and understand an infinite number of different sentences is one of the most remarkable capabilities we have. The study of the structure of sentences is called syntax, and this course is an introduction to syntactic theory. The particular approach we will be pursuing is called generative grammar, the approach to syntax pioneered by linguists such as Noam Chomsky. Chomsky argues that all humans are born with an unconscious knowledge of Universal Grammar, the basis on which the grammars of all languages are built. Through a detailed examination of English sentence structure, we will investigate the connections between English syntax and Universal Grammar. Only one of A Lin 321 and A Ant 321 may be taken for credit. Prerequisite(s): A Ant 220 or permission of instructor.

3.00 Credits
Introduction to the description and analysis of human speech sounds and their organization.

Only one of A Ant 322 & A Lin 322 may be taken for credit. Prerequisite(s): A Ant 220 or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the study of language as a social phenomenon. Includes basic sociolinguistic concepts, interactional sociolinguistics, social dialects, Black English, diglossia, bilingualism, and bilingual education. Only one of A Ant 325 & A Lin 325 may be taken for credit. Prerequisite(s): A Ant 220 or permission of instructor.
