The role of disease in the human experience. Students will draw on information from medical anthropology, epidemiology, human adaptation, disease ecology, and evolutionary biology to examine how diseases have been shaped by human-environmental interactions, culture, individual behavior, and social and economic processes.

When this course is taught as a split level, additional requirements for graduate students: Students who register for graduate credit will complete an annotated bibliography and research paper on a topic to be determined by agreement between the student and professor. This will consist of both a written and oral class presentation on the selected topic.
