ANTH 102 - Human Origins

(3,0) 3 Credits

General Education Course: Social Science
Prerequisite(s): Placement into ENGL 111 English Composition I  with ENGL 070 English Composition I Workshop  , or higher.
This course explores fundamental concepts that define what it means to be biologically and behaviorally human. Drawing upon evolutionary theory, we will trace the emergence of anatomical and behavioral developments within the lineage of Homo sapiens. This course covers a broad range of topics spanning seven million years of history, starting with the first bipedal steps taken by our hominin ancestors and ending with the Neolithic Revolution.
