Exploring Physical Anthropology Lab Manual And Workbook 4e

Exploring Physical Anthropology is a comprehensive, full-color lab manual intended for an introductory laboratory course in physical anthropology. It can also serve as a supplementary workbook for a lecture class, particularly in the absence of a laboratory offering. This laboratory manual enables a hands-on approach to learning about the evolutionary processes that resulted in humans through the use of numerous examples and exercises. It offers a solid grounding in the main areas of an introductory physical anthropology lab course: genetics, evolutionary forces, human osteology, forensic anthropology, comparative/functional skeletal anatomy, primate behavior, paleoanthropology, and modern human biological variation.

This full color lab manual is intended to be used primarily as a text for an introductory laboratory course in physical anthropology but also can serve as a supplementary text or workbook for a lecture class, particularly in the absence of a laboratory offering. Because it provides numerous photos and illustrations, it can be used with a minimum of laboratory materials.

By emphasizing human osteology, forensic anthropology, anthropometry, primates, human evolution, and genetics, this lab manual, written by Diane France, provides students with hands-on lab assignments to help make the concepts of physical and anthropology more clear. It contains short-answer questions, identification problems, and observation exercises. The Lab Manual provides a wealth of solid information that is invaluable in supporting the labs that accompany physical anthropology courses.

This manual provides students in academic laboratory courses with hands-on experience of the major processes of forensic anthropology. Designed to accompany the textbook Introduction to Forensic Anthropology 6th edition, the manual introduces core procedures and protocol, with exercise worksheets to reinforce the methodologies of forensic anthropology and enhance student comprehension. For the fifth edition, the manual has been updated in line with the textbook, incorporating new methods, figures, and worksheets. Each chapter contains explanations of the terminology, osteological features, and measurements needed to understand each of the topics. New for this edition, in many chapters students will find the incorporation of QR codes to give them immediate access to relevant video or website content to assist with the task at hand. In addition, in an attempt to create an inclusive learning environment, the authors have included online resources for most chapters that can be used in place of plastic skeletons or other classroom resources so that all students can utilize the lab manual regardless of their classroom setup. Chapters may be covered in one session or multiple sessions and include lists of both basic and optional lab materials, enabling instructors to tailor each lab to the resources they have available.
