With the completion of this program, students will be able to show how the human archaeological past is revealed through the material remains left behind by now extinct societies; explain that culture is a major component of human development; describe why humans are biological creatures and are a natural development of evolutionary forces; and demonstrate an understanding of the scientific method as it pertains to anthropological investigation and conclusions.
