How does Anthropology aid in our understanding of humans and human evolution.

Within a summary can you touch base with genetics, biological classification, human variation, the living primates, and human paleontology.

Can you also mention, how humans can and do evolve, and how humans relate to our closest living relatives, the monkeys and apes

Some of the main points to further discuss on are..

1) distinguish physical anthropology as a branch of anthropology.
2) understand how genetic information is passed from one generation to the next.
3) explain why change in allele frequencies between generations is evolution.
4) explain the importance of classifications systems and distinguish between them.
5) recognize the bones of the human skeleton.
6) understand the aging process of hominids.
7) identify means of locomotion from skeletal features.
8) explain general similarities and differences between primate groups.
9) explain the importance of understanding non-human primate behaviors.
10) identify earliest fossil primates.
11) explain ancestral relationship between humans and non-human primates.
12) understand paleoanthropological evidence for human evolution.
13) understand what kind of measures can be made to describe human biological variation.
14) list common pathology and anomalies in the skeleton.
15) understand the role of anthropology as a forensic science.
