Full Description
This exam concentrates on the genetic principles that inform human biological diversity, including inheritance patterns, genetic drift, and population genetics.
A comprehensive understanding of these genetic mechanisms is vital for analyzing population trends and assessing human health and evolutionary trajectories in contemporary contexts.
Students will be evaluated on their ability to explain genetic concepts, interpret data regarding population dynamics, and critically engage with current genetic research in anthropology.
Preparation should include discussions on the implications of genetic studies for understanding human variability and health disparities.
Sample Questions
- What impact does genetic drift have on small human populations and their evolutionary trajectories?
- Explain how inheritance patterns can influence the prevalence of genetic disorders in specific populations.
