First Year Seminar 191SBS02 - FYS- Talking Bones

This class will explore how we can learn about human evolution from the study of bones. Analysis of skeletal material is a tool for reconstructing behaviors of past populations and learning more about variation among humans. Students will gain an introductory understanding of the importance and ethical dilemmas of skeletal analysis within the field of anthropology. In this course students will also learn about campus resources, practice habits necessary for college success, share your experiences adjusting to independent college life. We will address these topics through discussions, assignments, and guest speakers.
