This is a whirlwind trip through the study of humans as a zoological species. We’ll start with a foundation in evolutionary theory and the scientific method. We’ll explore many of the interdisciplinary approaches to understanding humanity’s place in nature, including anatomy, osteology, genetics, primatology, paleontology, human biology, growth and development, and forensic anthropology. Lectures are supplemented with weekly labs that allow hands-on experience with skeletal collections, fossil casts, and data collection.
