Transfers ToCSUDescription(No prerequisite.) This course examines evolutionary theory as a unifying theory that encompasses human variation and human evolution, as well as genetics and the human genome. Topics include primates, including behavior, anatomy, features of the skeletal system, and the current threat of habitat loss; forensic analysis; archaeological theory and methodology; scientific method; and an overview of the most significant fossil sites that relate to human evolution. The department has an extensive collection of fossil casts that allows students the opportunity to actually see them in person rather than relying solely upon photographs or descriptions. Some instructors may require field trips to local zoos, museums or lectures. (CSU/UC) AA/AS COM GE Area 5, Cal-GETC Area 5B, C-ID: ANTH 110 (formerly AA/AS Area A, CSU Area B-2, IGETC Area 5B)
