Teaching

1.  Teaching Interests

                               Human paleontology, hominid and pongid functional anatomy, primate feeding

                               ecology, primate social behavior, anatomy, human osteology

2.  Courses Developed

Human Origins and Prehistory (A105 [first taught 1991]):  In discussion

groups, labs, and well-illustrated lectures the origins of features that make humans unique are investigated.  Students learn what our ancestors looked like at each stage of our evolution, and why.  We search for the origins of bipedalism, the reasons for our loss of body hair, and why we have large brains and rich diets.  We look for the beginnings of our reliance on technology, and the roots of our current numerical success.  Our fellow primates provide ecological and evolutionary examples that guide our evolutionary investigation of humans. 

Evolution of Primate Social Behavior  (B368/568 [1991]):  Primate

societies are parsed into 5 basic systems, after which variations on these themes are investigated.  Students learn that nonhuman primates vary from solitary, positively antisocial species, to animals that gather in groups of up to 300.  The evolutionary and ecological bases of primate intelligence, communication, tool use, territoriality, aggression, parenting, affiliation, and sociality are detailed.

Introduction to Biological Anthropology (B200 [1992]):  B200 is an

introduction to the biological study of humans.  Students learn the basics of genetics, evolutionary theory, human evolution, human adaptation, and human variation.  Five supervised labs give students hands-on experience with primate morphology, dental anatomy, fossil anatomy, and biological methods.

Human Paleontology (B464 [1992]):  Our understanding of human

evolution is traced from classical Greek philosophy, to the modern synthesis, to socioecology.  Epistemology from Plato to Popper is related to the human fossil record.  Four labs allow students to examine fossil primates and fossil humans first-hand to gain an in-depth familiarity with every stage of human evolution.  Ecology, subsistence strategy, and functional anatomy are emphasized.

Theory and Method in Human Paleontology  (B524 [1993]):

Hypothesis testing, experimental design and evolutionary theory are examined through the primary literature.  A selection of diverse and influential research articles focus discussion.  Interwoven with readings are labs in which students observe, measure and then interpret hominid fossils in light of the readings.  Paleoecology, species identification, molecular taxonomy and cladistics are critiqued as the meaning of human fossils is explored.  Graduate students achieve a level of familiarity with hominid fossils that prepares them to teach human paleontology to undergraduates with confidence and currency.

Trees to Tools: Evolution of the Human Foraging Pattern (B400/600

[1994]):  In this seminar a deeper understanding of fossil hominid cultural and intellectual evolution is sought through readings on optimal diet theory, optimal foraging theory, socioecology, human and ape food processing techniques, ape foraging strategies, ape tool use and early human technology.

SISTER SPECIES:  LESSONS FROM THE CHIMPANZEE (E105 [1995]):  Sister Species

is as much a survey of the natural sciences as it is a review of chimpanzee research.  Chimpanzee research is merely the nexus through which students are introduced to the fields of history and philosophy of science, taxonomy, anatomy, functional morphology, kinesiology, physiology, ecology, nutrition, ethology, molecular biology, epidemiology, pathology, endocrinology, embryology, genetics, psychology, linguistics, public policy, and animal conservation.

Up from the Ape: Why Are There Humans? (B400/600 [1995]):  In this

seminar students discuss hypotheses that purport to explain why and when humans evolved characteristics unique among the primates.  Seminar begins with a discussion of which features define humanity.  A series of lectures on human evolution follows.  Students read, discuss and debate the merits of scientific articles that grapple with critical issues in human evolution.

Advanced Readings in Human Paleontology  (B400/600  [1995]): 

Advanced undergraduates and graduate students read and discuss the merits and meaning of up-to-the-week human evolution research.  Focus is on ground-breaking works from the months and weeks – and sometimes hours – before each meeting.  Students have a strong voice in the choice of weekly topics.

Primate Field OBSERVATION TECHNIQUES (A495 [1995]):   Behavioral 

sampling, behavioral statistics, hypothesis testing, experimental design, practical botany, primate ecology, and ecological sampling are among the topics in this methods course.  Students are required to critique a sample of laudable primate behavior papers and apply what they have learned in their own project.

Primates (B466 [2001]):  Primates is an upperclass/graduate level seminar meant for advanced bioanthropology undergraduate majors and graduates with research interests in primate behavior and ecology.  In the course of the semester we will work our way through John Fleagle's masterful Primate Adaptation and Evolution.  Among the issues Fleagle addresses are the evolution of primate feeding strategies, primate functional anatomy, the evolutionary and ecological bases of sociality, evolution of territoriality and primate phylogeny are covered in the text.  Familiarity with primate taxonomy, socioecology and evolutionary theory are helpful.

Primate Behavior:  THE JANE GOODALL LEGACY (B400/600 [2002]):

Primate Behavior consists of two weeks of lectures on chimpanzee behavioral research, followed by seminar discussion.  Students consider the structure of chimpanzee ecology and society, the quality of relationships between chimpanzees, feeding behavior, sexual behavior, communication, language studies, association patterns, grooming relationships, mother-infant interactions, reproduction, locomotion and posture, hunting, tool use, dominance relationships, aggression, and the importance of kin relationships.  Seminar discussion begins with consideration of two classic descriptions of chimpanzee behavior by Jane Goodall, In The Shadow of Man and Through a Window, followed by discussion of the Goodall’s more formal research and that of her colleagues.

The Adapted Primate Mind (A501/B400/B600 [2004]):  The Adapted Primate Mind is a seminar concerned with the unusual selective pressures that have acted on the nonhuman primate mind to yield a host of unusual and complex behaviors.  Some particular issues that will be discussed in the seminar are:  complexity of foraging regimes, categorization and discrimination, optimal-diet decision making, tool use, quantitative abilities, communication, long-term relationship maintenance, reciprocity and exchange, theory of mind, deception, coalition formation, political maneuvering, and culture.  We explore these issues through readings drawn from both a text and the primary literature, in talks given by guest speakers, and in discussions with visitors and among ourselves.  Principal readings come from Tomasello and Call’s Primate Cognition, supplemented by primary literature where appropriate.

 

How We Got HerE:  A Look at Chimpanzees, Darwin and Other Clues to Understanding the Evolved Human (College S105 [2005]): The human body is a marvelous machine: it is capable of remarkable feats of endurance; it houses a brain capable of supercomputer-like intellectual calculations; and it is remarkably sturdy, resilient and durable.  In many ways, the body maintains itself almost without our noticing.  It fights off disease, turns food into energy, repairs itself, and accommodates to an extraordinary range of temperatures.  Some of these capabilities are unusual—if not unique—in the animal world, others are unremarkable and performed every bit as competently by other animals, and still other human capacities, such as night vision, muscular power, bone strength, acuity of smell, and reproductive output seem positively stunted compared to other animals.  In this class we consider how humans came to exist by looking at what humans are, how and why they came to be, how they are similar to and different from other animals, and how our evolutionary past influences our lives today.
