Online course on bipedalism launches
On Sept. 26, the College released its latest massive open online course, or MOOC, called “Bipedalism: The Science of Upright Walking.” Taught by anthropology professor Jeremy DeSilva, this free five-week course, open to the public, is the newest addition to DartmouthX, a collection of Dartmouth MOOCs created over the past three years. The course is comprised of five units: comparative anatomy, evolutionary origins, evolutionary history, human variation and the trade-offs of bipedalism, DeSilva said.
