Course Description
Three hours lab per week. This course provides an introduction to laboratory methods used in research in physical (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. (CSU) (UC) (Degree Credit) CSU GE, IGETC
