Intro to Physical/Biological Anthropology                                
The study of human evolution, variation, nonhuman primates, genetics,
advances in the genome study, fossil record, scientific inquiry,
archeological methodology, and the fallacy of race. Students will learn
about primates including behavior and anatomy, plus how to interpret
selected features of the skeletal system. The nature of scientific
discoveries and the changing nature of the field will expose students to
new information as well as what has been learned from prior research. The
department has an extensive collection of fossil casts that will enable
students to view materials that few community colleges can offer. This
course fulfills continuing education requirements for registered nurses.
