Order Description
In a 4-6 page written assignment, answer the following questions.

1) Define evolution using the course materials.

2) Define physical anthropology. Discuss some of the general ways physical anthropologists investigate evolution.

3) Using the APUS Library, find at least one appropriate outside source that identifies one specific research project in which physical anthropologists are studying evolution (e.g. the Human Genome
Project). Describe the research project and its significance in our understanding of evolution. Conduct original research, do not use the genome project because that example is given in class.
Review this screencast or script to help you learn to locate appropriate college-level sources using the Summon search tool in our Library.

4) Choose and define a second subfield of anthropology (cultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology, or archaeology).

5) Discuss some of the general ways an anthropologist in this second subfield investigates evolution.
