ANTH 1: Introduction to Biological Anthropology (Taylor)

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

This course examines the biological basis of being human. It compares us with our primate relatives, traces the evolution of our species from 4 million-year-old australopithecines, and accounts for the great anatomical and biochemical diversity among modern human populations.
