The aim of this course is to teach students the range of biological variations and the nature and basic components (genetic and environmental) which have contributed to these variation in modern humans. The main objectives of the course are to: • Discuss in depth the genetic basis of human variations and review the processes and sources of variation that contribute to the complexity of human adaptive responses to the environment. • Demonstrate how population genetics contributes to the understanding of human biological variation within and between populations and over time. • Demonstrate the methods of measurements and analysis of simple and complex traits using biological variation examples of such traits. • Use examples to discuss how human behavior and culture in response to the environment has influenced biological variation and to debate the concept of racism and the eugenics movement. • Make students aware of the impact of modern technologies
