(in Polish) Ukończony kurs anatomii funkcjonalnej człowieka.

During the course, student learns the research methods used in physical anthropology (human biology, craniometry, osteology), as well as information concerning anthropogenesis, human evolution. The main aim of lectures in biological anthropology is to provide background knowledge on phylogeny (hominid fossil evidence and their evolution) and ontogeny (biological development from conception into death). The basic knowledge for understanding of these processes includes comparative and functional anatomy, physiology, ecology, psychology and human ecology (adaptational changes to environment).

Subject effects in terms of skills:

Objective effect 4. The student uses the techniques and research instruments used in physical anthropology during classes

Subject effect 5. The student uses literature in the field of physical anthropology, both in Polish and English

Subject effect 6. The student uses digital sources to acquire knowledge in a targeted manner

Subject effect 7. The student participates in the discussion using scientific terminology

Learning outcomes in terms of social competence:

Subject effect 8. The student knows how to work in a group, adapting to perform various roles

Subject effect 9. The student learns the issues related to the exercise of the profession
