Integrative Biology 35 AC: Human Biological Variation
This course addresses modern human biological variation from historical, comparative, evolutionary, biomedical, and cultural perspectives. It is designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of comparative biology, evolutionary theory, and genetics as it relates to their everyday lives -- how they view the diversity of people around them. There are no prerequisites for this class. The course web site is available to enrolled students through UC Berkeley's Blackboard 5.
3 units. IB35AC will be taught again fall semester 2008.
Integrative Biology 290 section 23: Primate Biology Group
This is a one unit graduate level on-going seminar focused on the current discipline of primate evolutionary biology. It is open to graduate students studying or with a strong interest in primate/human biology and advanced undergraduates with permission from the instructor.
1 unit. IMPORTANT NOTE: For academic year 2007-08, IB290 sec23 will be offered as ESPM 290 with Prof. K. Milton
Integrative Biology 263: Genetics and Evolution of the Skeleton
This course will be somewhat flexible over the duration of the semester in order to address the interests and strengths of the students. The overall objective is to introduce morphologically-oriented students to the genetic underpinnings of morphological variation and evolution, and to likewise ask genetics students to explore the implications of their research for morphological evolution. The idea is to walk the edge between genotypic and phenotypic evolution. Graduate students from either genetic or morphological backgrounds are welcome. A strong background in evolutionary biology is necessary. Advanced undergraduate students with a demonstrated ability to succeed in the course may enroll with permission of the instructor.
2 units. IB 263 will be taught again spring semester 2008.
