Lab Tpical Outline: 3. Curse Measurable Objectives: Page 4 f 6

5 1. Identify the rigins f evlutinary thught and the majr histrical figures in the field. 2. Cntrast and cmpare scientific and creatinist views f evlutin. 3. Define and illustrate the mechanisms f evlutin (such as thse respnsible fr genetic diseases) including mutatin, natural selectin, gene flw, genetic drift, and nn-randm mating. 4. Evaluate the varius genetic theries f human behavir and mdern variatin. 5. Identify living and fssil nnhuman primates in terms f skeletal attributes and bserved r inferred behavirs. 6. Cmpare behavirs amng primate species, including claims f language and ther cultural attributes. 7. Describe the basic methds f paleanthrplgy and explain the varius dating techniques. 8. Identify and differentiate amng hminid fssils including the rbust and ther australpithecines; early genus Hm; Hm erectus; Neanderthals and ther archaics; and mdern Hm sapiens. 9. Evaluate varius appraches t the classificatin f nnhuman and hminid primates such as cladistics vs. traditinal systematics and issues abut lumping vs. splitting species. 10. Evaluate theries relating t the rigins f bipedalism, tl use, language, mdern Hm sapiens, art and symblism. 4. Curse Methds f Evaluatin: Categry 1. Substantial written assignments fr this curse include: page summaries f assigned articles in bilgical anthrplgy - Cmplete ne paragraph answers t "thught" questins incrprating infrmatin frm the current reading with previus chapters n bilgical anthrplgy. - If Essays the curse ( 3 t is 5 degree paragraphs) applicable, explaining substantial phenmenn written assignments r applying cncepts in this curse in bilgy are inapprpriate anthrplgy because: - Researched essays (1-2 pages) n bilgical anthrplgy Categry 2. Cmputatinal r nn-cmputatinal prblem slving demnstratins: Cmputing allele and gentype frequencies using the Hardy-Weinberg therem Slving inheritance prblems using punnet squares Applying the Chi-Square statistical test Categry 3. Skills Demnstratins: N/A Categry 4. Objective Examinatins: Multiple chice, cmpletin, shrt answer, and fill in n cncepts and principles in bilgical anthrplgy 5. Sample Assignments: 1. Make use f the internet and find additinal data n human evlutin per assignment. 2. Evaluate a creatinist tract in terms f the facts bserved in the fssil recrd. 3. Slve a prblem in ppulatin genetics t determine whether micrevlutin is ccurring in a particular ppulatin, and identify the mst likely mechanism(s) f evlutin at wrk in particular examples. 4. Make a timeline illustrating the ranges f dates fr the australpithecines and members f the genus Hm. Fr each hminid, include a few key characteristics and milestnes in evlutin (e.g. bipedalism, use f tls, art.) Include the time ranges fr the varius dating methds used t establish the chrnlgy f human evlutin. 5. Analyze a cmmunicatin behavir shwn by the grilla Kk. Des it meet the standards established fr human language? Fr each standard yu claim it meets, yu must prvide an example frm sme recrd f Kk's cmmunicatin histry, frm a published bk, an internet chat in which Kk participated r a film. 6.
