About the Course
Explores the evolutionary history of humans as biocultural beings adapting to changing environments. Examines fossils, genetics, and archaeological data.
This online course covers the evolutionary history of humans. We explore important questions about the early, middle and later stages of human evolution, such as: What are humans? How did we form as a species? What happened to the Neanderthals? And, are humans still evolving? These questions encompass a vast range of perspectives and will be examined in the context of human evolutionary history, culture, and behavior.
