Summary of Stature Estimation The anatomical method provides the best estimate of stature and is not population or time period-specific and should be used when the complete skeleton is available.
Listen to pronunciation. (BY-oh-LAH-jih-kul PROH-file) A summary of the biological actions of a substance. A biological profile may come from patient data or from tests done in the laboratory or in animals.
Biological profile. Estimation of the deceaseds sex, age, stature, and ancestry, along with the diseases and injuries, as derived from analysis of skeletal remains.

What does a Bioarchaeologist do? Bioarchaeologists study the organic remains from archaeological sites to address questions about evolution, past human activities, subsistence, health, nutrition and how humans have interacted with, or modified their natural environments.
With this body of knowledge they are able to examine and interpret skeletal injury resulting from blunt, sharp, firearm, and thermal trauma. For example, toolmark class characteristics are recognized through sharp force injury examination, and fracture pattern analysis provides details of the impacting surface area.
In Adults. Skeletons record an adult's age in several ways. The surfaces of the cranium, pubic bones, and rib ends hold clues.
Forensic odontologist can assist other experts to determine the sex of the remains using teeth and skull traits. Various features of teeth such as morphology, crown size, and root length are characteristics for male and female sexes. There are also differences in the skull pattern and skull traits of two sexes.
Biological anthropology looks at human biology and behavior through the lens of evolutionary biology. However, as human behavior is complex, it cannot be understood independent of culture or the physical environment. We will explore how biology intersects with environmental factors, including culture, to influence human behavior. Students will learn the skills needed to become scientifically literate, learning their place in nature, the importance of the comparative method in learning about ourselves, and the interaction between biology and culture in understanding the human condition. Topics include evolutionary theory and human evolution, primate origins of human behaviors, social and sexual behaviors, aggression, cooperation, and language, cognition, and culture.

Provides a selective overview of the history and historiography of anthropology in the 19th and 20th centuries. The class moves chronologically and topically, paying particular attention to the social, institutional, and historical contexts of paradigmatic shifts, the interconnections between various national traditions, and the negotiations of the discipline's boundaries. 4 undergraduate hours. 4 graduate hours. Prerequisite: Graduate or senior standing in anthropology, or consent of instructor.
Explores the origin and evolution of humans with an emphasis on reconstructing and interpreting fossil evidence. It provides an introduction to the fundamentals of biological anthropology and draws on a diverse range of other disciplines that contribute to the study of human evolution – evolutionary biology, population genetics, comparative anatomy, primatology, archaeology, geology and paleoecology. We examine the fossil and artifact record of the last several million years in order to develop an understanding of why we are interesting animals and a somewhat unique species.#N#This course satisfies the General Education Criteria for:#N#Social & Beh Sci - Soc Sci
Methods, techniques, and results of archaeology in North America; focuses on divergent approaches to the regional archaeology of North America; and surveys and synthesizes the archaeology of the subcontinent. 3 undergraduate hours. 3 or 4 graduate hours. Prerequisite: ANTH 220 or consent of instructor.
Develops understanding of the rich diversity of languages and cultures found among Native North American peoples from the perspectives of sociocultural and linguistic anthropology. Same as AIS 165.#N#This course satisfies the General Education Criteria for:#N#Cultural Studies - Non-West
3 undergraduate hours. 4 graduate hours.
Anthropology was first envisioned as a holistic discipline, combining insights from the study of human anatomy and evolution, research on material remains of human settlements, and the analysis of social interaction in language and other cultural practices. Following this tradition, this course explores the questions about where humans came from, ...
