Still need a one-unit science lab?
Take Anth 5: Physical Anthropology Lab
Spring '09, Wed. 10am-1:10pm
Many Anth 1 topics will be covered, as well as others including:
-
Sex, ancestry & age determination of human remains using techniques
of forensic anthropology
-
DNA fingerprinting using forensic methods
-
Medical genetics
-
Skeletal anatomy of mammals and primates
Students must be concurrently enrolled in Anth 1, or have completed Anth 1 with a "C" or better. The course is UC transferable, but approval is pending for IGETC and CSU GE science lab credit (retroactive credit will be given when approval is obtained in April 2009). Contact Prof. Waters for details: mwaters@elcamino.edu.

Course Description:
Physical/Biological anthropology is a subdiscipline of anthropology that explores the evolution and biological diversity of the human species, as well as our closest living relatives, the non-human primates. Topics include: genetics, evolution, biology and behavior of non-human primates, human variation, forensic anthropology and fossil evidence for human evolution (CSU, UC, Degree credit).
The Honors Physical Anthropology course covers science topics in greater depth than a “regular” Anth 1 course, to encourage a higher level of critical thinking and problem solving skills. Honors courses include more reading and writing assignments and activities to intellectually stimulate students, promote independent thought and enhance interpersonal communication skills.
