Biological anthropology is the study of the physical (or biological) aspects of primates, the order to which modern humans belong. We will explore such questions as: What is natural selection and how does it work? What are monkeys and apes and what can they tell us about ourselves? What were our ancestors like?

Snow, ice and other forms of weather catastrophes
Yeah, I know, it is supposed to snow again tonight and some of you haven't dug out from last week's disasters.  Do the best you can in a SAFE manner to come to class.  If you miss lectures, find someone in the class from whom to get the notes.  If you can't find someone, ask me and I will point some people out.  If you miss lab, talk to Emily or Henry at once (i.e., don't wait to the end of the quarter when you get your grade!).   I also strongly recommend attending the CLUE sessions to help you get caught up (MGH MTh 6:30), once the great thaw begins, assuming it ever happens....
