Description

In this course, we will trace the evolution of human nutrition, and consider how recent changes in diet, exercise, reproduction, and lifespan affect our fitness in the modern world. Modern humans often live in environments that differ fundamentally from the environment in which we evolved, with both positive and negative consequences for health. Lectures will review

1) The basic physiology of human nutrition

2) Human diet in the context of other primates and our hominin ancestors

3) Consequences of under- and overnutrition

4) Special topics including reproduction, lifespan, and the recent obesity epidemic

Class Format:

Learning Mode: As a DC (Distance due to COVID) course, all aspects of this course will be fully compatible with remote online learning. The lectures for this course will be presented live and will be recorded and made available asynchronously. We will also have weekly discussion sessions that require synchronous participation.

Course Testing/Assessment: Assignments will be asynchronous. Testing will be asynchronous and will consist of questions that will be submitted via Canvas during a designated time frame.

The course website will be in Canvas and recorded lectures will be available there.
