Maximum Credits: 3
Topics include the genetic basis for evolution and human adaptation, primatology, fossil primates and especially fossil man, population genetics, and the variability of modern man. This is an "action course" in which concepts such as mutation and genetic drift are dealt with indirectly. Skeletons from the osteological collection, casts of human fossils, and the students in the class are measured and compared. The behavior of apes, monkeys, and other primates are observed through films, and a trip to the buffalo zoo.
