01404-2 LD 1030-1218 T R EL 2003 Daniel Temple
Anthropology H200 fulfills a Natural Science GEC requirement. This course uses an evolutionary perspective to introduce students to the study of humans and non-human primates as biological organisms. We will analyze the genetic and environmental bases for modern human biological variation, understand primate behavior and biological relationships, and reconstruct the fossil record. Discussions about prehistoric skeletal remains will emphasize biological responses to changes in subsistence and social structure. The application of physical anthropology in forensic contexts will also be briefly discussed. The primary foci of this course are the biological bases for human evolution and variation and interaction of human biology and culture. Approximately one half hour will be devoted to discussing issues of theoretical importance following each lecture and beginning the second week of class. Questions to be addressed by these discussions are included on this syllabus but can be introduced by students via email or in class. 2 Examinations (essay and multiple choice), 2 short take-home essays

This course provides a survey of the field of biological anthropology (also known as physical anthropology). Biological anthropology is the branch of anthropology concerned with human biological evolution and variation. Major topics to be covered during the course include: evolutionary theory, genetics, the fossil record of human evolution, nonhuman primates, and human variation. We will address questions such as: What does it mean to be human? How are we similar to and different from other species? How did we evolve? What does the future hold for our species? This course helps satisfy the Natural Science GEC requirement.

01414-9 LD 0930-1118 T R SM 4012 Richard Yerkes
We survey human prehistory, starting with the first signs of human activity five million years ago in Africa, continuing through the evolution of hunting and gathering and food producing societies, and ending with the ancient civilizations that were established between 6000 and 3000 years before the present (BP). The class will focus on the culture histories and life-ways of groups that lived on earth when important biological and cultural changes occurred. First, among hunting and gathering societies in Africa, Asia, Europe, and Australia, and later when foragers migrated to North and South America. We will examine the innovations and transformations associated with the origin of farming and the rise of civilizations and states. We will review and debate the history of ideas about the human past, and consider how we came to be the way that we are today. The ways that archaeological data are collected and analyzed will be outlined, but this is not a course on archaeological method and theory. Since so many archaeological remains and cultural resources are being destroyed, we will learn how the past can be preserved through cultural resource management (CRM).Careers in archaeology will also be discussed.

H202 Introduction To Cultural Anthropology 5
Course Description In this course, we will explore what it means to be human by examining the cultural systems people have devised throughout the world. We will focus on the major dimensions of human culture, such as: religious, political, family, kinship, and economic systems. We will also explore the unique capabilities of humans related to language and technology. In the course of understanding other cultures, students will gain important insights into their own culture and contemporary issues. For example, students will achieve a real appreciation for what is meant when Iraq and Afghanistan are described as "tribal cultures."

H100 Intro Humanities:cross-Cultural Perspectives 5
Course Description In this course we will consider several important dimensions of humanities studies by focusing on the question of identity and how identity both shapes and is shaped by specific forms of cultural expression. As we analyze the stories and images different cultures produce about themselves and others, we will also discuss larger processes of cultural interaction and exchange, as well as the role of literature and the arts in our understanding of both the past and the contemporary world. We will be looking especially at the structure and significance of the stories people tell about themselves, both as individuals and as members of different groups. We will be asking how literature and the arts contribute to processes of identity formation, but are in turn shaped by those same cultural processes. Our primary concern in this course is not to provide answers but to raise questions about how literature and the arts may function to validate, conserve, and reproduce a particular set of values and beliefs in som

We will read a variety of texts, including several novels that are considered “classics” of literature (e.g. Silence, by Shusaku Endu, House Made of Dawn, by N. Scott Momaday, and Snow, by Orhan Pamuk), which reflect the experience of individuals from different religious traditions (e.g. Native American, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism). In addition to the above mentioned novels, we will also read God and Empire, Jesus Against Rome, Then and Now, by Dominic Crossan, and Wind in the Pines, by Dennis Hirota.

H202 Selected Works Of British Literature: 1800 To The Present 5
Course Description This computer-enhanced version of Honors English 202 is intended to introduce students to representative works of poetry, drama, and fiction of the Romantic and Victorian periods, and the twentieth century. We will examine these works both as the expression of the ideas and attitudes of the periods in which they were written and as a means of understanding the evolution of modern literature and thought. As a window into the ideas and forms of expression that appeared in these historical periods, we will focus on the theme of love and sexuality. Besides reading traditional texts, we will also be looking at hypertext versions of primary and secondary sources on the World Wide Web. To facilitate learning about these texts and the periods in which they were written, we will be engaged in a variety of activities involving digital media: on-line discussions, web-based research, collaborative media projects, and slide show (PowerPoint) presentations.

H410 Animal Form And Function 4
Course Description EEOB H410 examines how animals interact with their environment from a physiological point of view, most often asking how animals maintain internal homeostasis (i.e., survive). We will usually take a mechanistic approach, but, because evolution is the only process known that can provide a unified underpinning to the variety we see in nature, we will also be concerned with how physiological mechanisms may have evolved. The course seeks to integrate mathematics, physics, and chemistry more explicitly and thoroughly with the biological material than might be the case in a non-honors course. To achieve this goal, I emphasize basic understanding of the physical mechanisms underlying physiological processes, both qualitatively and, where possible, quantitatively (i.e., with appropriate mathematics). The second major difference from a non-honors course is an emphasis on in-class discussions. I run the class in seminar format with minimal formal lecturing. Questions are posted ahead

Speech is a very complex behavior: saying even a simple sentence such as “Luce hit another home run” takes more motor coordination than actually hitting the home run. Understanding speech is also a very complex skill: we take it for granted that we can listen to this sentence and correctly identify the first word as “Luce.” In this course, we will discuss pertinent ideas and results from research in the various disciplines that have contributed to our understanding of the sounds of language. We will introduce some of the quantitative analytical tools that are used in the phonetic sciences, and do several experiments in class, to give a flavor of the diverse research methods that speech scientists have developed to try to determine how speech is produced and perceived by humans.

The main objectives of this course are to introduce students to the important concepts of cell biology including protein sorting, cell-cell communication and cell division. In addition, we hope to help students learn to read and understand the current scientific literature, thus gaining a deeper understanding of how scientists think, and how the facts they learn are discovered.
