Duke’s Evolutionary Anthropology BS synthesizes paleoanthropology, primatology, genetics, and biomechanics to answer how humans evolved and where we’re headed. Students CT-scan hominin fossils in the Shared Imaging Facility, observe lemur cognition at the Duke Lemur Center, and crunch comparative genomics on cloud supercomputers. Field schools in Tanzania’s Rift Valley and Borneo’s rainforests immerse majors in data collection and conservation challenges.
