ANT 295-05 - Special Topic: Evolution and Running

2 credits (Spring)
In this two-credit half-semester course, we will examine running from an evolutionary and anthropological perspective. It will be a whirlwind class with some biology, some history, and some anthropology. We’ll examine what role running has played in our own evolution and talk about what’s up with modern endurance runners. Our goal is simple: you should know more about running at the end of this course than you did when you started. This course will fulfill general anthropology credits.

Prerequisite: ANT 104 . 
Note: Dates: April 3 to May 8. Half-semester deadlines apply.
Instructor: Bentley-Condit
