人类学文学士-生物人类学

生物人类学的重点是从进化的角度研究人类生物学。生物人类学家对了解人类如何以及为何成为今天的物种感兴趣。因此，它涉及对人类进化，人类生物学及其变异，人类生态学（人类与环境的相互关系）以及灵长类动物行为和生物学（使人类处于适当的比较背景下）的研究。生物人类学家还认识到，人类文化和一般的学习行为对于理解人类状况至关重要，这促使他们强调一种生物文化方法，其中生物学和文化都融入了对人类的整体理解中。学生与生物人类学系紧密合作，从系内外选修选修科目，以完善自己的研究和学术兴趣。建议根据学生的特定目标，选择生物学，心理
The focus of biological anthropology is the study of human biology from an evolutionary perspective. Biological anthropologists are interested in understanding how and why the human species became what it is today. Thus, it involves the study of human evolution, human biology and its variation, human ecology (how humans interrelate with their environment), and primate behavior and biology (to place humans in the proper comparative context). Biological anthropologists also recognize that human culture, and learned behavior in general, are fundamentally important to understanding the human condition which leads them to emphasize a bio-cultural approach in which both biology and culture are integrated into a holistic understanding of humanity. Students work closely with biological anthropology faculty to choose electives from both within and outside of the department to refine their own research and scholarly interests. Upper-level electives in biology, psychology, and geography are recommended depending on the student's particular goals. Students might consider taking a minor or second major in biology, psychology, or geographic science.
