Physical Anthropology introduces you to the study of the bio-cultural diversity of humans. The interaction between culture and biology produces a variety of human biological adaptations that are traced through the following avenues: the fossil record of primates, primate behavior, and the genetic makeup of modern populations. Spring 2023 will be at the newly renovated Rio Grande Campus in downtown Austin.
