How long have human beings, as we know them now, been on earth? Is evolution just a theory or is it fact? Are we really the descendants of apes or are they just our cousins? Why can it be said that we are all Africans? Do human beings exist in different races? How far back can we trace a human presence in what is now Canada? These questions and more will be addressed in this course in anthropology. Anthropology attempts to study all aspects of human life for all times. Physical anthropology primarily looks at humans as the physical product of a particular evolutionary past. We will be investigating that past, drawing upon diverse areas of study that include archaeology, paleoanthropology, biology, geology, and primatology.
