COURSE OBJECTIVES:

This course explores the basic knowledge of Biological anthropology,

history of research, theory, and methods associated with conducting

biological anthropology investigation.

It addresses different ways of interpreting the past and understanding

human as organism. The idea behind this approach is to prepare

MA/MSC students for further study.

The ultimate goal of the course, however, is to provide students of

biological anthropology the fundamental tools for attaining knowledge

and an understanding of the historical, theoretical, and methodological

backgrounds of their discipline, both means of gaining a greater

understanding of the human past as it informs the present.

know the natural base of life of man. Their source of energy and

interrelation between both nature and man are clear to the students.

Interaction between man and nature at a balanced conditions and in

problematic conditions should be understood by this topic this

helps to build the interdisciplinary knowledge about sections of

population and interactions between man and nature and vice versa.

It helps student to think health of human in a integrated concepts

and these concept they applied in their field work also.

They can apply the these concept sin different types of

epidemiological explanations
