Bioanthropology blends anatomy, anthropology, archaeology, biochemistry, and biology using physical sciences techniques to study human biological systems both from the past and present. It’s an interdisciplinary program primarily based on courses from the departments of Anthropology and Biology. As a student, you'll explore areas like comparative anatomy, cellular biology, archaeological methods, and primate evolution. The program also emphasizes gaining practical experience with modern laboratory techniques, making it an engaging and comprehensive field of study.
Why this course is highly recommended
The course stands out because it integrates multiple scientific disciplines, offering a well-rounded perspective on human biological history. It also benefits from the university’s active research environment, supported by SSHRC funding, and the opportunity to explore recent discoveries such as Homo bodoensis and Neanderthal cultural ties, making it especially appealing for those interested in paleoanthropology and evolutionary biology.
This program offers the opportunity to combine different disciplines, creating a unique skill set. While it primarily focuses on biological and archaeological aspects of human history, the interdisciplinary nature allows students to tailor their learning experiences and develop expertise in areas like primate evolution, ancient human species, and laboratory techniques.
