This class is designed as a graduate level survey of the field of Physical Anthropology.  including some evolutionary theory, human diversity, human evolution, and bioarchaeology.  Despite its title, this course is not intended to be a survey of human evolution, rather, "evolutionary" here refers to the unifying theme of biology, which necessarily lies at the core of anthropological investigations of human biology, both past and present.  After completing the class, it is expected that students would be capable of teaching a segment on physical anthropology in an introductory 4-field anthropology course.

Class attendance & participation, reading assignments, seminars, a lecture notes project, 2 exams, final exam. This course includes a lab. Class will be structured as a combination of lecture, seminar and lab formats.  Grading will be based on exams, participation in class discussions, and other assignments
