Human Anatomy in the Extremes

Following the journey of Homo sapiens, Dr. Kelly will explore how climate influenced human evolution and migration out of Africa into diverse environments, and how these evolutionary pressures shaped human anatomy, from skeletal structure to physiological adaptations. Uncover the surprising ways our ancestors adapted to their surroundings and what their stories reveal about what makes us human!
