ANTH 150 -- Human Sexuality (3) Biological, evolutionary and social aspects of human sexuality, examined from a cross-cultural perspective. Fall and Spring. Gen Ed: XC credit.

4.00 Credits
ANTH 160 -- Exploring Language (4) We are, in undeniable ways, what we speak! Language lies at the heart of who we are and what we might be and it informs our conceptions of reality. In this course we explore how humans manipulate language and how we are manipulated by it. We will employ scholarly readings, fiction, poetry, and film to define language, explore it as a human attribute, and investigate its role in defining us as social beings. Fall. Gen Ed: FW credit.

0.00 - 4.00 Credits
ANTH 161 -- Origins of Language (4) Perhaps no aspect of our behavior appears so uniquely human as language. But when did language appear? How is human language different from the communication of other creatures? How is the appearance of language related to tool use, evolving social structure, abstract thought, and self-awareness? Is there evolutionary continuity between animal and human minds? Recognizing that it is unlikely that a single factor is, in itself, responsible for the evolution of language, this course draws on research from such diverse areas as linguistics, biological anthropology, archaeology, cultural anthropology, pscyhology and neurology to explore ways of answering these questions. Spring. Gen Ed: FW credit.

3.00 Credits
ANTH 184 -- The Primates (3) This class concentrates on the behavior, biology, and socioecology of primates, with special attention paid to the relationship between humans and the other primates. Previously ANTP 184. As demand warrants.
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
ANTH 201 -- Human Origins (4) An introduction to physical anthropology, which is the study of human variability and adaptation. We will study the concepts of evolution, genetics, primatology, skeletal biology, and demography using the scientific framework of theory testing. These will build a foundation of knowledge that will allow us to explore human origins and evolution, and understand modern human diversity. This should be an exciting class where we will be able to bring together many scientific fields to explore fascinating issues that are closest to humans. Fall and Spring. Gen Ed: SB & LB credit.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
ANTH 202 - Cultural Anthropology (4) A survey of the subdiscipline of anthropology that uses the concept of culture to interpret human history and behavior in all societies and at all times. Introduction to the various research methods of cultural anthropology. Emphasis is placed on the application of social and cultural concepts when analysing behavior. Fall and Spring. Gen Ed: XC credit, some sections for FS credit. Lab section required.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
ANTH 203 - Language and Culture (3) This course looks at language as a set of cultural practices.
