Evolutionary Anthropology represents the deep time perspective of anthropology in the broadest sense. Anthropology encompasses the biological and social study of humans as complex organisms with the capacity for language, thought, and culture. This unique multidisciplinary course, the only one of its kind in the UK, gives you the opportunity to explore what it means to be human, from the appearance of the first hominins around seven million years ago, to the establishment of the earliest settled agricultural societies.
