The main objective of the subject of human origins is to understand current human groups based on their evolution over time.
The study of the evolution of man is made from an integrative perspective of various disciplines. The entire process can not be understood without understanding the periodization and therefore the dating methods for each moment; The changes can not be understood without understanding the evolution of the Earth and how it limits the environment, as climate changes modify ecosystems; tool manufacturing and brain development ...
In this whole, we can understand the evolution from the first primates to the variability of the current man.
Throughout this process, we can understand the evolution of diseases and their distribution in the biosphere.
And the molecular study of the different hominins will capture the variability of the current man.

The development of the training activities of the course is based on: theory classes, seminars and laboratory and computer practice classes, each with its specific methodology.
These activities will be complemented by a series of tutoring sessions.
Theory classes: Two typologies have been designed, the first merely masterful and the second aimed at a dialogue at all times open on the relevant topic.
In the first, students acquire the scientific knowledge of the subject by attending theory classes: master classes with ICT support, which will complement the personal study of the topics presented. The audiovisual material used in class can be found by students in the "teaching material" tool of the Virtual Campus. These classes are conceived as a fundamentally unidirectional method of transmitting knowledge from teachers to students that forces them to develop autonomous learning strategies outside the classroom.
In the second typology, days before and sufficiently in advance, the students will be provided with the necessary documentation to discuss; students must have prepared them from the material delivered by the teachers on the Virtual Campus. These students and within the subject of human biology have already had some basic notions of some topics. Within these classes students will have the opportunity to discuss and discuss in depth the latest developments in human evolution research.
Seminars: a leading researcher will be taken to talk and discuss current issues.
Practice classes: Students come into contact with laboratory material and techniques. The results will be discussed at the end of each practice and/or the evaluable materials will be collected. Students will be able to access the protocols and practice guides through the Virtual Campus. The knowledge acquired in theory classes and in personal study is applied to the resolution of practical cases. Students work in small groups allowing them to acquire the ability to work in groups, analysis and synthesis. It also allows you to apply statistical resources in the interpretation of data.
Tutorials: The aim of these sessions is multiple: to resolve doubts, to carry out debates on topics that have been proposed in class, to orient on the sources consulted by the students and to explain the use of the necessary tools of the Virtual Campus for the proposed activities. These sessions will not be expository nor in them will advance matter of the temario, but will be sessions of debate and discussion. Much of the content of the tutorial sessions will be based on the work done by students independently.
Approximately 15 minutes will be devoted to allowing your students to answer the surveys for the evaluation of the teaching performance and the evaluation of the subject or module.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

Avaluació
En tractar-se d'una avaluació continuada es tindrà en compte la participació de l'alumnat, la preparació delsseminaris, dels materials de pràctiques i les notes dels controls. Per poder assistir-hi cal que l'estudiantjustifiqui haver superat les proves de bioseguretat i de seguretat que trobarà en el Campus Virtual i serconeixedor i acceptar les normes de funcionament dels laboratoris de la Facultat de Biociències.Per a l'avaluació de l'assignatura es farà un control amb un pes del 40% de l'assignatura. L'alumnat que nohagi superat l'examen disposarà d'un control de recuperació.Respecte a les classes de teoria tipus II es poden avaluar amb la recollida d'un qüestionari de les mateixes od'algun petit treball al respecte. En tot cas aquesta part tindrà un pes d'un 40% de la nota.Pel que fa a les pràctiques de laboratori l'assistència és obligatòria i es valora l'actitud, destresa i el diversmaterial que lliurarà el professorat a l'alumnat en funció de la pràctica (problemes, qüestionari,...).L'assistència a les sessions pràctiques és obligatòria. L'alumnat obtindrà la qualificació de "No Avaluable"quan l'absència sigui superior al 20% de les sessions programades.Els seminaris es treballaran a classe i s'avaluaran amb l'entrega de qüestions i problemes entregats el mateixdia del seminari. El pes de les pràctiques i dels seminaris a la nota final de l'assignatura és del 20%.Per participar a la recuperació, l'alumnat ha d'haver estar prèviament avaluat en un conjunt d'activitats el pesde les quals equivalgui a un mínim de dues terceres parts de la qualificació total de l'assignatura o mòdul. Pertant, l'alumnat obtindrà laqualificació de "No Avaluable" quan les activitats d'avaluació realitzades tinguin unaponderació inferior al 67% en la qualificació final.La nota mínima en cadascuna de les parts avaluables serà de 4. Per aprovar l'assignatura la nota ha de serigual o superior al 5.
