Anth 450 Modern Human Biological Variation

Lab Overviews

Four lab assignments relate to topics covered in lecture. They provide hands-on experience and are designed to allow students to apply new information. Labs are worth 45 to 95 points for a total of 335 points.

Full attendance is expected for lab sessions.  Because the labs involve evaluating biological variation among class members, everyone must be present for all lab sessions. Regardless of whether the absence is excused or not, missed labs cannot be made up.Students are expected to stay for the entire lab session. Labs will require additional analysis and report preparation outside of class time.

Directions for completing lab assignments are posted below. While labs may be completed in small groups, each student is expected to read the lab overviews carefully before each lab and to follow the directions exactly.

Lab 1: Anthropometry and Dermatoglyphics

Lab 2: Principles of Simple Inheritance

Lab 3: Population Genetics

Lab 4: Adaptation of Heat and Cold Stress
