Study

This program focuses on physical anthropology and biology, genetics, ecology, and human ethology. It studies the ontogenetic and phylogenetic development of humans, evolution, morphological variability of populations, ethnicity, growth, composition of the human body, biological properties, and the influence of environmental factors on humans. Molecular genetic studies include analyses of receptor genes and genetic polymorphisms in variable regions of human chromosomes. Applied specializations encompass forensic, clinical, functional, and ergonomic anthropology. Skeletal and dental anthropology hold a specific position.
