Physical anthropology WB-BI-24-20lab
During the course, student learns the research methods used in physical anthropology (human biology, craniometry, osteology), as well as information concerning anthropogenesis, human evolution. The main aim of lectures in biological anthropology is to provide background knowledge on phylogeny (hominid fossil evidence and their evolution) and ontogeny (biological development from conception into death). The basic knowledge for understanding of these processes includes comparative and functional anatomy, physiology, ecology, psychology and human ecology (adaptational changes to environment).

Colloquium scoring:
100-94% - 5
93-88% - 4.5
87-80& - 4
79-70% - 3.4
69-60% - 3
59 and less - 2
The student is obliged to fill in the workbook during the exercises, and also have the ability to search for and select appropriate sources (scientific articles and electronic sources, also in English). A student may have 2 unexcused absences (2x1.5h).
