| Unit Description |
Palaeoanthropology examines the skeletal evidence for the evolution and diversification of the Hominids. Emphasis will be placed on the factors which may have instigated the development of the Hominids as a distinct lineage and the question 'why are there Hominids?' will be examined in detail. No prior knowledge of human biology, comparative and descriptive anatomy or evolutionary theory will be assumed in this unit. The initial part of the unit concentrates on aspects of skeletal and dental anatomy, histology and pathology in a series of three-hour laboratories. Students who have any difficulty in working with human skeletal materials should not enrol in this unit. |
