Our behavioral and physical traits can be traced back to the evolution of humans. Understanding the human origins and evolution will help us understand the interrelations of these traits to both cultural and environmental aspects of our lives.
This [course_title] will give you materials to understand the morphological evolution and adaptation. You will also analyze the evidences for human evolution and how stone artifacts and fossil specimens are valid evidence to prove this evolution.
