Animal Sciences 494: Human and Animal Interactions in The United States

Human and Animal Interactions in The United States (AS 494)

Cluster Courses

The reciprocal connection between human and non-human animals is greatest where humans and animals interact due to the process of domestication. However, human population growth and the continued development and expansion of our habitat mean that very few animal species remain unaffected by human activities.

This course explores the biological principles and
fundamental theories that have been developed to explain the evolutionary process, and the impact of humans on the selection, domestication and evolution of animals.

In Animal Sciences 494 you will study:

The archaeological evidence of how human-animal relationships have changed over time
How animal species adapt to changing environments including man-made environmental changes
Basic genetic principles
Animal domestication
Human interactions with non-domesticated animal populations and how interactions impact those species
The holistic impacts of animal evolution and domestication
