Introduction to Biological Anthropology. Section 001. Instructor(s): Andres R Frisancho (arfrisan@umich.edu) Prerequisites & Distribution: (4). (NS). (BS). Does not count toward anthropology concentration requirements. Credits: (4). Course Homepage: No homepage submitted. Study of human evolution with emphasis on genetic evolutionary process. Man's evolutionary history as evidenced by fossil remains and present racial variation in light of modern evolutionary theory. Lectures and recitation. Check Times, Location, and Availability Cost: No Data Given. Waitlist Code: No Data Given. ANTHRBIO 450. Molecular Anthropology. Section 001. Instructor(s): David Andrew Merriwether (andym@umich.edu) Prerequisites & Distribution: At least one anthropology or biology course. (3). (Excl). (BS). Credits: (3). Course Homepage: No homepage submitted. This course will cover, in detail, how to collect various kinds of molecular data. This includes polymorphisms involving PCR amplicon size, RFLP's, STR's, and DNA nucleotide and protein amino acid sequences. The theories behind these methods will be discussed so that students will understand the nature of the data being collected. This is the prerequisite course for the Molecular Anthropology Lab course, and provides the necessary background theory to learn how to actually do these procedures in lab. The second third of the course involves analysis of molecular data, and encompasses basic population genetic techniques for the analysis of molecular genetic data. These include computation of genetic distance, heterogeneity, and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium from actual data. The final third of the course will involve either presentations of critiques and explanations of published works or novel analyses of data acquired from the literature or from online databases (Genbank, GDB, etc.). The course pack will involve readings from the field. Check Times, Location, and Availability Cost: No Data Given. Waitlist Code: No Data Given. ANTHRBIO 565. Evolution of Genus Homo. Section 001. Instructor(s): Milford H Wolpoff (wolpoff@umich.edu) Prerequisites & Distribution: Senior standing. Primarily for students concentrating in biological anthropology or vertebrate evolution. (4). (Excl). (BS). Credits: (4). Course Homepage: No homepage submitted. Evolution of Homo sapiens from its Australopithecine ancestor, and the appearance of modern humans and their races are the focus of this course. Topics include the hunter/gather adaptation and the late Pliocene origin of Homo sapiens, habitation of the world and the origin of races; the “Eve” theory of modern human origins; the fate of the European Neanderthals. Three hours of lecture, two hours of scheduled laboratory, and a third unscheduled hour required weekly. There is a midterm, final, and term paper. Anthropology 351 or 365 must be taken before enrolling into this course. Check Times, Location, and Availability Cost: No Data Given. Waitlist Code: No Data Given.
