Physical/Biological
ANT 320 Human Origins(3): Prerequisite ANT 210 or consent of instructor. Classification and history of human evolution deduced from the fossil and molecular data. Discussion of Tertiary hominoids and emergence of humans with emphasis on Australopithecines and later Pleistocene hominoids.
ANT 322 Primate Biology and Behavior(3): Prerequisite ANT 210 or consent of instructor. Ecology, social behavior, and functional morphology and classification of living primates (prosimians, monkeys, and apes); their evolutionary history and development.
ANT 324 Human Biological Variation (3): Prerequisite: ANT 210 or consent of instructor. Nature and extent of hertable differences among human populations in evolutionary perspective Consideration of effects of environmental factors on genic expression.
ANT 326 Human Osteology(3): Prerequisite ANT 210 or other biology course; Corequisite ANT 326L. The human skeleton focusing on bone biology and skeletal anatomy. Topics include: techniques to examine and measure bones; methods for the estimation of age, sex, ancestry, and stature; analyses of pathology (disease and trauma). Topics presented within the context of specialized areas of physical anthropology, such as skeletal biology, paleodemography, and forensic anthropology.
ANT 326L Human Osteology Laboratory(1): Prerequisite ANT 210, Corequisite ANT 326. The application of concepts, techniques, and methodologies to actual skeletal materials. Three lab hours each week.
ANT 426: Forensic Osteology Method and Theory(3): Prerequisities: ANT 326 and ANTL 326 with a grade of "C" (2.00) or better. This is an advanced osteology seminar/laboratory course focusing on the application of skeletal and dental analyses for establishing human identification, time since death, and manner of death."
ANT 430:(BIO 430) Evolutionary Biology(3): Prerequisite BIO 335 (Genetics). Advanced survey of organizational principles of the genetic apparatus of prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Emphasis of the course directed to critical evaluation of current concepts and models of evolutionary dynamics using relevant illustrative examples from the literature.
Electives and New Courses at the 200 level do not satisfy degree requirements. New Courses at the 400 level and Seminars can and do satisfy degree requirements. Be sure to consult with your academic advisor...
***New Trial courses will be lvl 292 or 492. Lvl 495 is a seminar class with topics varying each semester. See specific semester schedules for details on these classes.
