Rudiments of Cultural and Evolutionary Anthropology 3700-AZm-L1-6-PAKU
The course will include lectures on new prospects offered by new research possibilities, especially those taking into account the genetic revolution, with regard to research on human evolution as well as cultural diversity within the human species. All this will be presented against the broader background of natural sciences (geology, palaeontology, evolutionism), because our history and uniqueness only manifests itself when we view it in this kind of wider panorama.
Topics will be provided by the Lecturer at the beginning of the semester
