    Description
    54 hours lab per semester. This course provides an introduction to laboratory methods used in research in biological anthropology. Topics include the classification, biology, and behavior of living primates, human skeletal and physiological anatomy, human genetics, methods of phylogenetic reconstruction, and evidence for the evolutionary history of humans and other primates. Emphasis is on practical experience. Students will examine skeletal materials from living and extinct primates, participate in experiments to illustrate analytical techniques used in modern physical anthropology, and observe the behavior of living primates through field trip and/or audio-visual resources. In addition to laboratory exercises, one short research paper will be required. Field trips may be required outside of regularly-scheduled class times.
