Paleo-anthropology   – the necessary interdisciplinary approach to anthropological aspects of man’s evolution will be provided within curricula. A sort of continuity between our species’ early and present behavior will be established.

ACTIVITIES’ TRAINING CONTENT

Human paleontology and paleo-anthropology; genetics of populations; language evolution; human skeleton’s  biology; human genetics; genetics evolution; human language and animal communication; knowledge processes’ psychology; Primates and environment; human paleontology and ecology; central nervous system evolution in anthropology.

Procedures for research on prehistory and archeology – the objective is to provide the necessary practical and theoretical skills for archeological evidences management and interpretation. The field of prehistoric archeology is extremely wide and needs an interdisciplinary and well balanced kind of approach and in order to collect all necessary data for the documentation and the consequent interpretation of archeological evidences.

ACTIVITIES’ TRAINING CONTENT

Geology and Paleontology of Quaternary   – the objective is to provide necessary knowledge on the interpretation of geologic/environmental context  within prehistoric settlements. The multidisciplinary approach including geological, paleontological and biological aspects will allow to draw a complete scene of the study on prehistory and Quaternary.

Heritage preservation and revaluation   - the objective  to provide all necessary practical and theoretical knowledge for the preservation of our archeological heritage. The revaluation process is a very important opening for work opportunities. The aim is to enable doctors to recognize, study and interpret the cultural heritage always in the attempt to preserve, to revaluate and to disclose it.

ACTIVITIES’ TRAINING CONTENT
