    This course is unique in that it solely focuses on human bone and tooth anatomy and is geared specifically toward applications in biological anthropology, including forensic anthropology, paleopathology, and bioarchaeology. Other anatomy courses at WSU focus more broadly on all aspects of human anatomy and physiology. This course does not explore soft tissue anatomy or physiology, but specifically addresses bone anatomy relevant to anthropological study. Coursework in human osteology is essential for students planning on attending graduate school in biological anthropology or in bioarchaeology fieldwork and careers.
