The first things we learned about and discussed were the ethics of working with human remains. In regard to the content of the course we learned all the bones of the skull, the features of the bones, how to assess sex, how to (or if to) assess ancestry, general bone histology, muscle attachments, and some fragment work.

All of the omics! (Computational Genomics 2). Very much so focused on taking data from our own research and using it to answer research questions we were interested in.

All the bones and sutures that comprise the skull. Ethical question and issue in studying human remains. Some bone histology and many anatomical features of the human skull.

Independent experimental design, analysis, and trouble-shooting in bench work

I would honestly recommend this course to people who are not just in the bio anthro field, but to archaeologists, anthropologists, and art historians more generally cause I found that actually working with the bones and engaging in conversations about ethics gave me a much better understanding of the foundations of the field and what it actually means to work with human remains. 1 Columbia University: Arts & Sciences Fall 2024 Course: EEEBUN3997_001_2024_3-INDEPENDENTSTUDY : EEEBUN3997_001_2024_3 - INDEPENDENT STUDY Instructor: Jill Shapiro

I did this to get credit for lab research, so its great if you have a good plan with your PI mentor 1 Columbia University: Arts & Sciences Fall 2022 Course: EEEBUN3997_001_2022_3-INDEPENDENTSTUDY : EEEBUN3997_001_2022_3 - INDEPENDENT STUDY Instructor: Matthew Palmer

The features of all the bones in the body! (minus the skull)

I learned the bones of the postcranial skeleton, key features of all of those bones, and as I was only taking this for one credit, some amount of siding, fragment work, and sexing.

you get to look at so many bones 1 Columbia University: Arts & Sciences Fall 2021 Course: EEEBUN3997_002_2021_3-INDEPENDENTSTUDY : EEEBUN3997_002_2021_3 - INDEPENDENT STUDY Instructor: Jill Shapiro
