MSc Human Evolution
It has taken 7 million years of struggle to make us ‘human’. How did we get here and why? Investigate the biological and behavioural changes that made us the species we call Homo sapiens on this new MSc Human Evolution. Applications for this course should be made directly to the University of Liverpool's . You will gain expertise in the human fossil record, ancient DNA/proteomics and Neanderthal archaeology/spatial analysis. Through LJMU’s collaboration with the Poulton Project, you will have access to archaeological sites with burials and large skeletal collections for practical training. You will also benefit from learning in dedicated laboratory facilities for osteological analyses and practical field training in the excavation and recording of human skeletal remains. University of Liverpool will provide you with expertise in the early archaeological records of Africa and Eurasia, archaeological and evolutionary theory, as well as ecological, environmental and climate change modelling. The university has dedicated facilities and support staff for undertaking materials analysis linked to experimental archaeology and 3D modelling. The Professor Elizabeth Slater Laboratories for Archaeological Science provide analytical tools, including scanning electron microscopy [SEM-EDX], a visualisation suite for 3D modelling of artefacts and microscopes for use-wear analysis of stone tools. Through the research-led teaching on this MSc, you will be fully involved in the human evolution research community and will learn about the latest theoretical orientations, methods and discoveries.
