INTRODUCTIONIn Evolutionary Anthropology (formerly BiologicalAnthropology and Anatomy), we study the physical and behavioralorigins of the human species. To better understand the biology ofwho we are as a species, we integrate techniques and knowledgefrom a wide variety of disciplines. The study of fossils, for example,enables us to reconstruct the evolutionary history of the primatelineage, including humans. To aid in the interpretation of fossils,we need a broad knowledge base in anatomy, physiology, ecologyand behavior. Functional anatomy helps us understand how ananimal may have moved through its environment or what it ate.The behavior, ecology, physiology of modern primates is studiednot only to help piece together our past, but also to understandmodern human and primate behavior, the interplay betweenenvironments and social structure, and the evolution ofcooperation, competition and cognition. Genetics, disease ecology,forensics and many other topics are also covered withinEvolutionary Anthropology. The common theme throughout thesesubjects is the use of evolutionary theory and biology to piecetogether just what it is that makes us human and help us betterunderstand how our species fits into the larger world.Students who major in Evolutionary Anthropology (EvAnth)have a variety of interests and long-term goals. Some of ouralumni go on to graduate study in paleontology, functionalmorphology, behavioral ecology, cognitive studies or conservation.Many others pursue a professional education in the healthsciences (medical, dental and veterinary school, nursing, physicaltherapy, or physician‟s assistant programs) or work in healthrelated fields such as health policy, public health, and forensics.Our alumni have become teachers, researchers, and doctorsamong many other professions. We strive to make our major onethat prepares students for any number of science-related careers.For more descriptions of job opportunities for students withbachelors and masters degrees in evolutionary anthropology, seethe careers website put together by The American Association ofPhysical Anthropologists (http://physanth.org/career).4

MAJORING IN EVANTHThe EvAnth major offers two degree tracks: the Bachelor ofArts (A.B.) and the Bachelor of Science (B.S). Within either track,you can declare a concentration in either “Anatomy andPaleoanthropology” or “Behavior, Ecology and Cognition”. We alsooffer a minor. Requirements for each track and concentration areprovided on pages 6-9.Becoming a major:Before the end of your sophomore year, working with yourpre-major advisor, you will develop a long-range plan of academicstudy and declare a major. Detailed instructions are available at theAdvising Center web site: laring-a-major. If you are already a major in anotherdepartment and wish to add EvAnth or change your major, you cando so at the Registrar‟s office (located in the Smith Warehouse).After declaring your major, we will contact you and ask yourpreference for an advisor. We will do our best to match you with yourpreferred adviser, but naturally that is not always possible. Advisorsand their research interests are listed on pages 15 - 17 of thisbooklet.To aid you in developing your academic plan, we haveincluded a worksheet at the end of this booklet. As you put togetheryour long-range plan, keep in mind that some advanced courses areoffered only once a year and others even less frequently. The DUScan help you assess when particular courses are most likely to beoffered. Also remember that some courses have prerequisites thatmust be met before registering for the course (e.g., most 500-levelcourses require at least one 200 or 300-level course in the samearea of study). It is a good idea to complete both of the 200-300level core requirements – one in anatomy/paleontology, the other inbehavior, ecology or cognition – early in your academic career. Thiswill prepare you for most 400 and 500-level courses which aredesigned to be taken in the junior or senior year.We encourage you take advantage of the opportunity toparticipate in faculty research projects and independent studyprojects. See the DUS for help in getting started in a research lab.5

Major RequirementsThe EvAnth major offers two tracks, one leading to theBachelor of Science (B.S.) degree, and one leading to the Bachelorof Arts (A.B.) degree. The B.S. degree is the best option for studentsintending to pursue research or professional careers in evolutionaryanthropology (also referred to as physical anthropology or biologicalanthropology), the health professions and other science-relatedcareers. The A.B. degree is the more general liberal arts major.Although both majors require a similar number of courses, the B.S.has a greater number of pre- and co-requisites that reflect a greaterbreadth in the natural sciences. Concentrations (see page 9) are thesame for both tracks.In both degrees there is the opportunity to take relevantcourses in other departments (e.g., Biology, Chemistry Psychologyand Neuroscience). There is a list of pre-approved electives fromother departments available on page 29. Students may also petitiontheir advisors and the Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS), inwriting, to have other courses count toward their electives (this isespecially encouraged for one-time special topics courses that mightbe of particular relevance to EvAnth).Specific requirements are continued on the following page.* Note - the university has put together a great website with lists ofuniversity requirements, resources and commonly used forms (e.g.transfer credit requests). Search “Duke T-reqs” or go totrinity.duke.edu/academic-requirements6

Requirements for second majors are the same as for first majors.The Minor in EvAnthRequirements: EvAnth 101 or 101D; one course in from the Anatomyand Paleoanthropology area (see below); one course the Behavior,Ecology and Cognition area (see below) and at least two electivecourses numbered 200 or above in EvAnth for a total of 5 courses.Note that all five courses must be in EvAnth.AREA COURSESThe following courses qualify for the area requirements for bothmajors and minors (other courses may be approved by the DUS asappropriate). Note that it is recommended that students take thesecourses early in the academic career to prepare for more advancedcourses during their junior and senior years.Anatomy and PaleoanthropologyEvAnth 220, 221S, 230, 231L, 235L, , 330, 333L, 334L, 336S,Behavior, Ecology, and Cognition:EvAnth 212FS, 246, 253, 257, 260(K), 280, 310, 341, 344L, 355,359S, 363S, 385DAreas of Concentration for the Evolutionary AnthropologyMajor:Students may elect to complete courses representing an in-depthstudy of a given area within Evolutionary Anthropology. These areasinclude: “Anatomy & Paleoanthropology” and “Behavior, Ecology &Cognition”. Students who choose to pursue a concentration mustcomplete all of the requirements for the AB or the BS and thefollowing requirements (the courses listed below would count toward3 of the 5 required EvAnth courses). Note that students can petitionto use special topics courses (EvAnth 390 or 280) as appropriate fora given concentration.Anatomy and PaleoanthropologyRequirements: Three courses from the following list: EvolutionaryAnthropology 220, 221S, 230, 231L, 235L, , 330, 333L, 334L, 336S,431S, 514, 520, 522, 530, 532S, 534L, 537S, 532L 582S, 588SBehavior, Ecology, and Cognition:Requirements: Three courses from the following list: EvolutionaryAnthropology 212FS, 246, 253, 257, 260, 280, 310, 341, 344L, 355,359S, 363S, 385D, 546S, 560SGRADUATION WITH DISTINCTION8

„Graduation with Distinction‟ is how Duke recognizes those studentswho dedicate their senior year to an in-depth mentored researchproject and who write up a substantial thesis paper. To qualifystudents: Must have a GPA of 3.0 overall and 3.5 in the major Register for Independent Study 393 and/or EvAnth 495Sduring their senior year outline a project the first week of classes of your senior yearwith the advice and consent of a project advisor Conduct original research, typically over the course of twosemesters or more, and write up a thesis (typically 30-40pages) Defend your thesis to a committee of 3 faculty members.Students must submit a brief (one- to two-paragraph) description ofthe honors project, the names of the faculty comprising theexamination committee, and the signature of the student‟s facultymentor to the DUS by the end of the first week of classes of thestudent‟s next-to-last semester (e.g., fall semester for Maygraduates) for approval. The examination committee should consistof three faculty members, at least two of whom are in EvolutionaryAnthropology. Note that the completed thesis must be turned in tocommittee members for review at least one week prior to theexamination date. Students must conduct research and preparetheir papers as part of a formal independent study course(exceptions can be approved by the DUS). It is expected thatprojects will be substantial and take place over the course of theacademic year, with frequent feedback from the student‟s mentor.The student‟s committee should be given a progress report at theend of the first semester and kept updated as the project nearscompletion. For those who are planning to graduate with distinction,we strongly recommend that you take EvAnth 495S: AdvancedResearch in Evolutionary Anthropology in place of EvAnth 393 in thefall semester. This course adds a one hour per week seminar to theusual requirements of an independent study to review hypothesistesting, funding opportunities, methods, data analysis, and initiating adraft of the thesis. In the spring semester of your senior year, GwDstudents sign up for EvAnth 393 (Research Independent Study).Thesis defense meetings need to take place before the last day ofclasses and typically last about an hour. Feel free to stop by the DUSoffice for more details.9

TEACHER CERTIFICATIONA science major who is interested in teaching science at thehigh school level is encouraged to earn a Comprehensive ScienceTeaching License in addition to his or her bachelor's degree. Theteaching license, which is earned by fulfilling the requirementsprescribed by the State of North Carolina, is generally accepted inmost of the 50 states by reciprocal agreement. With the passage ofthe No Child Left Behind Legislation and the requirement that allclassrooms be led by highly qualified professionals, schools are nowrequired by federal mandate to ensure that teachers hold appropriatelicensure in their respective content area.In addition to completing the B.S. major in EvAnth, requirements forthe Comprehensive Science Teaching License include a variety ofcourses in education, one in psychology, and other courses in thenatural sciences. Students who complete the licensure program alsoearn a minor in Education.The last semester of the senior year is devoted to the studentteaching block, including two education courses and 10-12 weeks offull-time teaching and observation in a Durham Public Schoolworking with a licensed high school teacher and Duke Faculty. Thestudent teaching practicum counts as two course credits. Because ofthe time constraints this may impose on the planning of courses,students considering teaching high school science should confer withthe faculty in the Program in Education, ideally, prior to thepreparation of a long-range plan.

GETTING ADVICEThe Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) is alwaysavailable to discuss courses and academic plans with pre-majorstudents as well as majors. After declaring your major, you will beassigned an academic advisor from among the faculty in ourdepartment (see pages 15 – 16). We will try to assign you to thefaculty member of your choice, coinciding with your interests.However, this may not always be possible. Note that all facultymembers are happy to discuss academic interests and careers withstudents.Students typically meet with their academic advisor at leastonce a semester in order to be cleared for registration (this isuniversity policy). These meetings are important not only to discussyour plan for the upcoming semester, but also your long-range goalsand how to get the most from your time at Duke. Your advisor canalso be a help in finding a research mentor for you in the department.Advisors manage their own schedules and can be contacted directlyto set up a meeting time.11

OPPORTUNITIES OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOMDuke and the department offer numerous opportunities fordiscussion and research in Evolutionary Anthropology.Seminars - The department offers a weekly seminar series(EATS) featuring leading researchers in the field as well as researchupdates from our faculty and graduate students . Attending theseseminars will give you the opportunity to get greater insight into theresearch of faculty members and is a great chance to interact on amore personal level with all members of the department. Seminarannouncements are generally posted around the Biological SciencesBuilding and on the Evolutionary Anthropology website.The Duke Lemur Center - The Duke Lemur Center contains theworld‟s largest collection of captive prosimian primates. Manyspecies are free-ranging in natural habitat enclosures during thesummer months. Opportunities exist for hands-on research inprimate behavior, functional morphology, physiology, reproduction,disease ecology and genetics. To get involved in research at theDLC, it‟s best to contact faculty members who work at the center tosee if they are looking for volunteers or independent study students.If you are interested in simply volunteering at the center (as a tourguide or as an assistant to the animal technicians) contact theCenter directly at (919) 489-3364. Note that the Lemur Center alsoadministers the Division of Fossil Primates (located on Broad Street).Potential opportunities exist for working with their fossil collection(call 919 416-8584).Labs - Opportunities exist to work in a variety of faculty labsincluding studying biomechanics, cognition, paleontology, diseaseecology, genetics, and behavioral endocrinology. Contact possiblefaculty mentors directly and arrange to talk about your sharedinterests and any possible openings in their labs. Note that workstudy positions in the department and elsewhere at the university aregenerally posted on Duke List (http://dukelist.duke.edu/)Field work - Many faculty members conduct field work aroundthe world. Opportunities exist to join them during fossil digs orbehavioral ecology projects Contact the DUS for more information.GUIDE FOR AREAS OF INTEREST*Note - That these are not formal concentrations, but we encourage you toput together a diverse set of courses using electives from EvAnth and thepre-approved electives list to create a thoughtful academic plan.Human Evolution and Adaptation:EvAnth 220EvAnth 257Human EvolutionEcology and Adaptation of Hunters and Gatherers12

Here are some examples:Before taking EvAnth 333L – The Human Body, it‟s best to get someexperience in anatomy first. Good choices right after the introductory courseinclude Primate Anatomy or Bodies of Evidence (Forensics). HumanAnatomy and Physiology or Human Osteology are also at the 300-level andbenefit from prior experience in anatomy, but also make for strong lead-incourses for Human Body.Before taking EvAnth 341D: Primate Sexuality or EvAnth 344L PrimateField Biology, it‟s best to take Primate Ecology or Sociobiology in EvAnth orAnimal Behavior in Biology.Check with your advisor about other courses and recommendedcourse sequences.Remember that we are a multidisciplinary department and we encourage ourmajors to take related courses from outside the major. Pre-approvedcourses from other departments are listed on p. 29.14

evolutionary biology. From this point of view, some authors have tried to extend the Darwinian theory universally beyond the domain of evolutionary biology (Cf. Dawkins, 1983), using the three principles of evolutionary theory (inheritance or retention, variation, and adaptation) as a heuristic for evolutionary economic theorizing (Campbell, 1965).
