What is the Human major? Subfields Special features of the EBH program The Human Evolutionary Biology (EBH) major at Stony Brook As a major in the EBH program, you will take courses from University is a Bachelor of Science degree offered jointly by the and world-renowned faculty, all conducting novel and exciting Departments of Anthropology and of Ecology and Evolution. In the human evolution and morphology subfield, students explore research in their fields. You will have the opportunity to Students receive a strong background in the natural sciences, palaeontological, morphological, and cultural transitions that participate in overseas field research and courses in the Turkana mathematics, statistics, and anthropology, and have the option to occurred during the evolution of the human lineage.
