Physical anthropology is the study of humans as biological beings subject to the forces
of both evolution and culture. Physical anthropology studies humans in a biological
context and explains our relationship to other primates and the rest of the natural
world. Throughout the course we will examine anatomical, behavioral, and genetic similarities
and differences among the living primates, and by illustrating the scientific method,
learn the basic mechanism of the evolutionary processes and trace a pathway of human
evolution in relation to environmental adaptation as reconstructed from the fossil
record. (C-ID: ANTH 110) (CSU/UC).
