ANTH 1 - (BH) Human Evolution in Philosophical Perspective
Fall, Spring
Human origins are reviewed in light of evolutionary theory, recent
research on living primates and the fossil record. Concepts of both
human nature and culture are defined in evolutionary terms and
critiqued with an eye to unraveling the distinctly human capacities for
conjugal and extended family life, for symbolic communication and for
social contracts that establish the minimal conditions for political
order.
