BI 310 Human Evolution

Human Evolution is a non-major introductory course that looks at the genetic changes that have occurred over time in populations in the human lineage. While the emphasis of the course is on the processes of biological evolution, considerable time will be spent looking at cultural and behavioral evolution and the relationship of modern homo-sapiens to the balance of life on the planet. Current and historical issues related to the theory of evolution, e.g., intelligent design, creationism, and eugenics are included. Lecture course. To fulfill graduation requirement for a laboratory science, NS 108 must also be taken, but it need not be taken concurrently.
