Human Evolutionary Processes

Catalog description

Explores macroevolutionary and microevolutionary processes that shape the human species. Macroevolutionary processes include speciation and species concepts in primate evolution and hominin evolution, considering primate models for interpretation of hominin and modern human behavioral biology. Microevolutionary processes include a biocultural approach to considering the role of selection, mutation, gene flow, and genetic drift in human populations; and critical examination of cultural constructions of race and their impact on human biology.
