ANP-102 Introduction to Biological Anthropology & Archaeology

This course offers an introduction to two subfields of anthropology: biological anthropology and archaeology. Biological anthropologists specialize in primatology, paleoanthropology, human variation, medical anthropology, and forensic anthropology. Archaeologists study the ancient and recent human past by examining material remains in the fossil record to answer questions about human history, evolution, and culture. The course will examine evolutionary theory, basic principles of genetic inheritance, species diversity, and living non-human primates. An exploration of fossil non-human primates, the first hominins, the genus Homo, and human variation will also be studied.
