ANTH 104 Introduction to Physical Anthropology and Archaeology
This course explores the evidence for the origin and evolution of humans on Earth. Students will discuss theories of natural selection and evolution in relation to the fossil record, by analyzing species on the human ancestral line from the Euprimates through to the Genus Homo. Characteristic assemblages associated with different species of Hominid will be discussed. Consideration will be given to cognitive development, with particular focus on the archaeological evidence of the Upper Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic periods.
