Description: This course is the systematic study of humans as biological organisms, including the origin of humanity and their place in nature, variation and adaptability, and modern biological diversity. There is also a focus on comparative primate behavior, genetics and heredity, human evolution and the underlying fossil records.

 

Student Learning Outcomes:

Upon successful completion of the course, students should be able to demonstrate the following skills:

 

1. Explain the development of modern evolutionary theory.

2. Apply classical and modern genetic approaches to the study of taxonomy and evolution.

3. Analyze non-human primate and hominid behavior, social organization, and morphology.

4. Integrate biological, geological, and archaeological evidence within the framework of the scientific method, in order to formulate interpretations of human evolution.

5. Integrate biological and social perspectives in the description and explanation of human diversity.

6. Assess current debates in human biological evolution and diversity.

✓ Please consult the Student Handbook for college policies on academic misconduct. Examples include cheating on tests and plagiarism [representing someone else’s work (like lifting information from the internet) as your own, without acknowledgment]. Another example is Googling a film review, and then using it as a film response.
