COURSE DESCRIPTION: The course reviews anthropological approaches to the study of human biological variation. Emphasis is placed on understanding the principles of research into genetic and environmental origins of human phenotypic variation throughout the life cycle. Selected research examples, typical for complex phenotypes' analyses, are highlighted, which gives students an overview of analytical techniques that are the most appropriate for analyses of complex biological traits. Dilemmas in interpretation of novel scientific anthropological information and the need for holistic analytical approach as the most successful in contemporary anthropology are discussed.
