ANTH-1200-V21- Introduction to Biological Anthropology
Summer Session 2, July 01, 2025 - August 05, 2025
Online: MTW, 06:00PM - 09:00PM

This introduction to biological anthropology satisfies a core life science requirement and serves as a general survey of the biological focus of anthropology. The course summarizes the different subdisciplines of biological anthropology and covers the history of evolutionary theories, human genetics and adaptation, primate biology, behavioral ecology and conservation, and an overview of the human fossil record. In particular, we emphasize the variations found in contemporary humans and non-human primates and the biological and cultural changes that took place in our ancestors over the past 7 million years. Lab sessions will provide a practical introduction to human osteology, primate morphology, primate conservation, and comparisons of human fossil morphology.
