This course explores the biological variation and diversity of living humans. Throughout the course students will gain a deeper understanding of how this population-level variation is a result of long-term biocultural processes and how humans have adapted both biologically to a variety of environments. Using our current scientific knowledge, students will also deconstruct and analyze the concepts of race and biological determinism and their impact on human society, health, and biology.
