The course for Non-Erasmus students includes three main parts - generala issues of physical anthropology, primatology and Evolutionary anthropology. General issues introduces to the major problems of anthropology like human variability and otnogeny and the major factors, methods of anthropology, human diversity and human behavious. Primalogical part should present: Basic features of the order Primates and also those of prosimians and anthropoids, detail information on biology, biogeography, ecology, social structure and life history of individual families, subfamilies and genera. Seminars are focused on life of individual primate groups in wild, or in captivity, their ecology and social structure.Evolutionary anthropology part provide theoretical information on primate phylogeny with a special regard to hominid evolution and fossil evidence on evolution of individual primate groups. Special attention is paid to hominine phylogeny, evolution of genus Homo and its species, biological and cultural diversification of Homo sapiens from Paleolithic till Neolithic.
