Description

Biological anthropology is the study of the evolution, genetics, anatomy, and modern variation within the human species.

The goal of this course is a comprehensive exploration of the dynamic interplay between biology and culture that shaped human prehistory. In exploring the sweep of human evolution from 6 million to 30,000 years ago, you learn how that interplay continues to shape our lives today.

Subjects discussed include natural selection, the development of hominids, prehistoric gender roles, the origins of language, the biology of race, and a consideration of modern human life from an evolutionary perspective.
