Students who are interested in joining the senior Honors program should consult with the departmental Honors advisor for biological anthropology. Previous participation in the college Honors program is not a prerequisite for joining the senior Honors program.

Biological anthropology is a subfield of anthropology dealing with human biology and evolution. This course presents a survey of the major topics in the subfield: evolution and human genetics, human adaptation and other aspects of human variation, and the fossil record for human evolution. Special emphasis will be placed on how all these issues relate to both social and biological concepts of race. Grading will be based on two one-hour exams. No special background knowledge is required or assumed.

Prerequisites & Distribution: Senior standing and permission of instructor. (2). (Excl). (INDEPENDENT). May be repeated for credit twice.
