Course Homepage: https://coursetools.ummu.umich.edu/2002/winter/anthrbio/161/001.nsf What is the material basis of evolution? How have humans evolved? Why do humans behave in the manner that they do? This course seeks to answer these enduring questions. The course will be divided into three parts. We will begin by reviewing the theory of evolution and examining how evolution produces adaptations and creates new species. This section will conclude by outlining how evolution has shaped the behavior of our closest living relatives, the nonhuman primates. The second part of the course will be devoted to investigating the human fossil record and tracing the physical and behavioral evolution of our species. The course will conclude by asking how evolution has affected contemporary human behavior. The emphasis throughout will be on the processes that have shaped human evolution and how these have produced who we are. The course includes three lectures plus one discussion/lab meeting per week. Grades will be based on three midterms and GSI evaluation. Check Times, Location, and Availability Cost: 2 Waitlist Code: 1 This page was created at 6:47 PM on Mon, Jan 21, 2002.
