How did humans evolve? How did modern humans become so diverse? When did humans start to walk upright? In this course, we will cover the scientific study of human evolution, focusing on the emergence and diversification of our species. Topics covered include: the fundamental principles of evolutionary theory, human morphological variation, the basics of genetics as it relates to the emergence of our species, how studying nonhuman primates can inform our own evolutionary past and future, the fossil record, and the material culture record from our earliest primate ancestors to the emergence of our species Homo sapiens.
