Learning outcomes
|
The course introduces students to physical anthropology as a science, its divisions, applications and basic methods. Through lectures and practical exercises, students will learn about the possibilities of studying human skeletal remains, the methods and procedures used in anthropological research, and what can be discovered through them. Students will also learn about methods of assessing the physical characteristics of living humans and how they can be used in practice, and gain insight into forensic (forensic) anthropology and trichology (examining hair and hairs). The last area will be anthropogenetics as a modern interdisciplinary field and the possibilities of its application in practice.
