Human Biological Variation

 

 

ANTH 333 (Human Biological Variation) is taught by Dr. John Relethford in the Department of Anthropology at the State University of New York College at Oneonta, located in (where else?) Oneonta, New York.

A detailed examination of the data and methods used to analyze human biological variation. Variation is examined in blood types, protein and enzyme polymorphisms, DNA markers, anthropometrics, skin color, dental measures, and dermatoglyphics. Variation is analyzed in relationship to sex, age, natural selection, adaptation, and population history. A substantial part of the course consists of in-class lab experience in the measurement of variation and the application of analytic methods and their interpretation.
