人类学文学士-生物人类学

在过去的半个世纪中，生物人类学发生了巨大的变化，从一门以描述性，类型学的人类形态学方法定义的学科转变为以人口为基础的框架，其中包括实验和比较分析。生物人类学家继续超越传统的学科界限，并与物理和自然科学互动，包括生物学，解剖学，遗传学，化学，生物统计学或内分泌学以及社会科学。人类学系设有文化人类学家，考古学家，生物人类学家和地理学家学院，其奖学金涵盖了人类经验的广度。该程序使本科生能够描述，分析和解释人类的状况。对人类所处的社会，环境和进化环境的考察定义了该学科的大多数课程。该计划是综合性的，借鉴了地理，生
Over the past half century, Biological Anthropology has undergone tremendous change from a discipline that was defined by a descriptive, typological approach to human morphology (the study of shape) to one that includes both experimental and comparative analyses in a population-based framework.<br><br>Biological anthropologists continue to cross traditional disciplinary boundaries and interact with both the physical and natural sciences including biology, anatomy, genetics, chemistry, biometry, and endocrinology as well as the social sciences.<br><br>The expertise of existing faculty in Biological Anthropology at CSU includes:<br><br>Human skeletal biology<br>Forensic anthropology<br>Evolutionary theory<br>Neanderthal paleobiology and paleobiogeography<br>Dental anthropology<br>Early hominin feeding ecology<br>Taphonomy<br>Plio-Pleistocene Africa<br>Pleistocene Asia<br>Primate origins, biology, and locomotion<br><br>Two broad themes exist within biological anthropology. The first emphasizes evolutionary theory and morphological transformations, and the second is concerned with adaptations that are the product of the interaction between human biology and culture. Current faculty research addresses both of these themes.<br><br>Special resources include the Bone Lab, the Zooarchaeology Lab, the Human Osteology Lab, the 3-D Imaging and Analysis lab, the Center for Paleoanthropological Research, and the Primate Origins lab. The biological anthropology program sponsors an annual paleontology field school each summer in Wyoming. Existing faculty also have geographic foci significant to their resear
