This course will offer students the opportunity to consider a broad synthetic approach to human evolution and prehistory, deriving evidence from archaeology, language and genetics. The course perspective is historic: it proposes that the current distributions of genes, language and archaeological artifact are the consequence of history. They are coincident, rather than co-evolutionary. The course will, however, evaluate the extent to which a traditionally Darwinian model can be extended to offer explanations for modern gene and language distributions, or contemporary human behavior and cultural change.
