Human Evolutionary Biology

专业介绍

Human evolutionary biologists begin with a simple premise: that our past informs the present — that humans, in their rich array of diversity, are the product of millions of years of evolution. Could some of the most pressing human health issues, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancers, arise from living in a world that is far different from that of our ancestors? The Human Evolutionary Biology Option allows students to explore this and many other related questions.
