ANTH 2010 Introduction to Biological Anthropology

This course covers topics on human evolution and modern human diversity, focusing on humanity's biological roots and modern appearance.

At the end of the course, students will better understand where humans fit into the animal kingdom, as well as how those characteristics that make humans unique may have evolved.
