Marco Teórico

ANTH-062 Units: 3

The course will examine human variation including adaptive and non-adaptive variation in genetic and physical traits. Topics will include evolutionary mechanisms, genetic anomalies and diseases, world distribution of genetic variants, and human evolution. By studying the behavior and genetics of our closest relatives, the primates, the course will derive hypotheses about our ancestry. Finally, this course will examine fossil evidence to reconstruct the life and times of our ancestors.
