The seminars are in the introductory parts focused on evolutionary and problems of recent paleoanthropology. This part provides theoretical information on primate phylogeny with a special regard to hominid evolution and fossil evidence on evolution of individual primate groups. In paleoanthropology part a special attention is paid to fossil evidence of origin and evolution of primates, hominoid origins and evolution, hominine phylogeny including basic fossil evidence of early homine evolution and origin and evolution of genus Homo and its species. Paleobiogeographical and paleoecological aspects of primate evolution will be explained for individual parts of primate phylogeny.A review of evidence of biological and cultural diversification of Homo sapiens from Paleolithic till Neolithic should give studens a powefull knowlege for undestanding of the origin of recent human populations. This part includes basic paleogenetic evidence for evolution middle and upper Pleistocene forms of Homo sapies. A special attention will be paied to explanation of hominid evolution events that are important for teaching paleoanthropology and human evolution in schools.

12 hodin přímé výuky, z toho 12 H cvičení, obsahem nepřímé výuky bude samostudium studijních opor (viz doporučená literatura), pak příprava 6 prací z vybraných tématik evoluce homininů,  vycházejících ze studijních opor a a prezentací na webových stránkách (celkem cca 36 hodin), které by měly být zaměřeny na pochopení významu znalosti paleoantropologie a evoluční antropologie a analýza kritická reflexe vybraného filmu s tématikou evoluce Homo sapiens včetně jeho archaických forem možného uplatnění možného upratnění znalostí evoluce člověka ve výuce na základních i středních školách.
