Dear Colleagues,
The Centre for Anatomical and Human Sciences at the Hull York Medical
School, University of York Campus, is offering a new MSc in Human
Evolution from September 2012. It will have a strong emphasis on virtual
anthropology and morphometrics, both of which should appeal to members
of this list and their students.
If you know of any students who may wish to enquire further please pass

Thank you

*MSc in Human Evolution*
This Human Evolution MSC is aimed at strong graduates in anthropology,
archaeology, biology, psychology, zoology and related fields.
*Overview of the course*
This taught MSc, starting in October 2012, will provide you with a
detailed understanding of human and primate evolution, focusing on
anatomy and morphology and their interfaces with ecology and behaviour.
Through membership of the interdisciplinary PALAEO Centre at the
University of York, this MSc is an attractive option for those wishing
to combine anatomical and archaeological approaches to the study of
palaeoanthropology. Based in the Centre for Anatomical and Human
Sciences at HYMS on the University of York campus, you will acquire
practical and theoretical knowledge about cutting edge tools for
morphometrics, imaging and functional simulation used to interpret the
fossil record. In addition, you can gain practical knowledge of anatomy
through dissection of human cadaveric material as well as comparative
anatomical study. You will also undertake a research project of your
choice in consultation with your supervisor to investigate a current
question in human evolution.
We hope to welcome you on this exciting new programme!
