ANTH 250 - Beyond Human Nature

Credits: 4

In ?Beyond Human Nature? students participating in the Source Project will build upon the research they conducted in the fall semester where we questioned ?common?sense? assumptions about human nature said to derive from our evolutionary past. We will continue to evaluate the evidence related to race, sex and gender, health, and other biocultural concepts to question and understand what they truly mean for modern Western ideas about how it is natural for people to act and live. Students will further refine their research projects and adapt their presentations to different audiences, including peer researchers and the general public. Restricted to participants in the Source Project. Prerequisite: ANTH 150. Offered regularly in spring.
