The course is taught in Czech. The course introduces the students to Biological Anthropology, a constitutive subfield of Anthropology according to the definition of American Anthropological Association: "Biological anthropologists seek to understand how humans adapt to different environments, what causes disease and early death, and how humans evolved from other animals. To do this, they study humans (living and dead), other primates such as monkeys and apes, and human ancestors (fossils). They are also interested in how biology and culture work together to shape our lives. They are interested in explaining the similarities and differences that are found among humans across the world. Through this work, biological anthropologists have shown that, while humans do vary in their biology and behavior, they are more similar to one another than different." The students are introduced to these topics.
The course is taught in Czech. After the successful completion of the course, students are able to: discuss key topics in Biological Anthropology; assess the importance of biological anthropology as a constitutive subfield of Anthropology.
