Welcome to ANTH A107: Becoming Human
In this course, students are learning to use the tools of evolutionary anthropology to trace human origins and adaptations through deep time. The goal will be to explore how evidence from the past (fossils, remnants of tools and art, DNA) as well as parallels in the present helps us to define what it means to be human and understand the unique moments of adaptation and change that created, and continues to maintain, our species.
We are a HUGE CLASS!! (132!) but we hope that through this publication, you can learn alongside us and get the perspective of a few student voices.
This publication is meant to center a selection of assignments from students, and highlight some of the main themes covered in the class.
