Overview

Students in this Anthropology - Biological Anthropology concentration from University of Colorado Denver develop a firm understanding of the evolutionary processes that lead to physical and behavioral variation in humans and non-humans, and quantitative methods used to explore and explain this variation. Students may take courses in diverse areas including evolutionary biology, genetics, ecology, ethnobiology, epidemiology, nutrition, medical anthropology, primatology and paleontology. Additionally,

because biological anthropology is multidisciplinary in nature, students are encouraged to consider courses offered outside the department's curriculum.
