Overview

Fossils provide tangible evidence of the deep history of humans and related species. To interpret those fossils, we need to have a thorough understanding of human anatomy, comparative anatomy and functional morphology (among many other tools).

Key Features

Anatomy and paleoanthropology are also important tools in understanding how the human body functions and why structures are the way that they are.

This in turn can be critical in creating and implementing effective medical procedures. Learning anatomy in an evolutionary context will give those students interested in pursuing health-related degrees a deeper preparation for their future studies. Join the Evolutionary Anthropology (Anatomy and Paleoanthropology) degree at Duke University.

Duke will consider official scores as well as scores that are self-reported on the application. Submitting essay scores from the ACT and/or SAT is optional.

If you are a non-native English speaker or if you are not currently studying in an English-medium curriculum, Duke recommends but do not require that you take an English proficiency test.

Duke requires three letters of recommendation for each applicant: one from your school counselor and two from teachers who have taught you in major academic courses (English, mathematics, social studies, sciences, foreign languages), preferably within the last two years of secondary school.

Both the Common Application and the Coalition Application include a one-page personal essay as well as short essay questions specific to Duke.
