This course is designed to help first year students develop skills and habits for college success. It is also an introduction to anthropology, particularly biological anthropology- the study of human evolution, human biology, and primates. Students will learn about campus resources, share their experiences adjusting to independent college life, and explore key questions in biological anthropology, such as: What are the origins of humanity? Who are our closest living relatives? What are the implications of our biological nature?
Open to first-year SBS students (include direct admits to all SBS majors and Exploratory Track SBS students)
