ECTS credit allocation (and other scores): 0 OR 2.00 (depends on study program) Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles:
  • the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS;
  • the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h;
  • 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes;
  • weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS;
  • work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.

Short description:

The scope of the course includes the following: (a) solidification of knowledge in the anatomy of the human skeleton, (b) concept of adimation, adaptability, adaptation, (c) methods of assessing sex and age on the basis of bones, (d) metric and nonmetric traits and its role in the study of ancient human populations (e) skeletal determinants of environmental stress, selected skeletal pathologies, and the importance of these traits for the analyss of the health status of human groups, (f) selected issues in epidemiology, demography, biodemiology, biocultural adaptation, the evolution of selected diseases.
Full description:

The course includes reminding and consolidating knowledge about the construction of the human skeleton, acquainting students with the techniques of working with the skeleton material. Student understands the importance of adaptation, adaptability, adaptation, and acquires methods for assessing sex and age based on selected skeletal characteristics. Student understands metric and nonmetric skeleton techniques, skeletal environmental stressors, selected skeletal pathology. This part of the course is aimed at acquainting students with methods of the assessment of health of the human populations. In the later part of the course, the health of ancient and modern human populations is analyzed on the basis of data analysis from databases and literature data.

In addition to theoretical and practical aspects of the course, selected topics in the field of epidemiology, demography, biodemiology, biocultural adaptation, selected diseases
