ANT f348K • Introduction to Primate Anatomy

Course Description

This course is an exploration of the relationship between primate anatomical form and function. The course is designed to demonstrate how the primate body form is adapted to its many functions, with an emphasis on adaptations to diet and locomotion. There will be lectures as well as laboratory work. The lab will NOT include dissection, but will emphasize the diversity and function of the primate skeleton and give you a chance to learn anatomy "hands-on".
