HUMAN AGING: BIOANTHROPOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES
This course examines biological changes of the human body from birth to old age, using a systems approach to document and evaluate populational patterns of growth and development. It emphasizes methods used in bioarchaeology to estimate chronological age from calcified tissue and problems associated with senescence (i.e., osteoarthritis and osteoporosis).
