人类学哲学博士-生物考古学

UCSD的生物人类学从强烈的比较角度探讨了人类和紧密相关物种的文化承载能力的演变。今天，人类是一个超主要物种。我们如何获得这种方式激发了公众和科学的想象力，然而，尽管有许多关于我们起源的理论和推测，但仍未提供对我们进化史的完整解释。困难不仅限于事实，还包括深刻的哲学问题，包括与现代人类困境极为相关的问题。我们认为，答案只能来自我们所代表的跨学科，跨学科和跨学科的合作。我们旨在了解非人类灵长类动物社会的起源，组织复杂性和社会生态学。我们探索社会生态学和灵长类动物复杂行为的神经底物之间的关系。我们研究和重建人
The Department of Anthropology offers a Doctoral degree in Anthropology. We offer training in archaeology, biological, sociocultural, psychological and linguistic anthropology. The program is designed to provide theoretical background and methodological skills necessary for a career in research and teaching anthropology at the university level, and for the application of anthropological knowledge to contemporary problems. Aims to understand the origins, evolution, organizational complexity, and socioecology of human and nonhuman primate societies. We explore primate evolution at different levels, ranging from the molecular (genomes and cells) to the socioecological (social groups, societies, and environment). We make use of cutting edge molecular techniques to examine diversity beyond the genome (e.g. epigenomes, glycans, stem cells, and neuronal diversity), and we also have a special focus on the relationship between socioecology and the neural substrates of complex behavior in primates. We apply behavioral and ecological data from wild baboons to understand the process of adaptation. This changes the questions we ask about the evolution of the human pattern and is particularly relevant in the fast changing environments of the Anthropocene.
