ANTH 211 - Virtual Anthropology

Semester Offered: Spring
0.5 unit(s)

The Digital Age opened exciting new possibilities for the study of human evolutionary anatomy. Imaging technologies such as laser scanning and computed tomography (CT) put high resolution physical data in a computer-based environment, allowing powerful visualizations and unprecedented analyses. This Intensive gives students experience with the types of questions, data and methods used in Virtual Anthropology. Students conduct hands-on research using virtual methods, learning the pros and cons of computer-based analysis of recent and fossil human anatomy. Intensive may be taken for up to two semesters.
