An organism's phenotype is defined by both genetic and environmental influences. The organism presents an open system which presents special problems for the preservation of an interior environment within narrow limits in the face of variations in external conditions. This course examines how humans and other mammals, sense, interact and adapt to changing environments.
Note: Students with credit for PHSIO 433 may not take this course for credit.

From living and working under the sea to the space station, humans have extended their habitats far beyond their hunting-gathering origins in the lowlands of Africa. This course will examine the responses and adaptations to a variety of environmental conditions, starting with the harshest and most dangerous transition of all, birth, to living and working in space.
