1 NSF - Physical Anthropology

http://www.nsf.gov/sbe/bcs/physical/start.htm

The Physical Anthropology Program from the National Science Foundation supports basic research in areas related to human evolution and contemporary human biological variation like human genetic variation, human adaptation, human osteology and bone biology, human and nonhuman primate paleontology, functional anatomy and primate socioecology.

2 The Genome Sequence Database

http://www.ncgr.org

A collection of DNA sequence data and related information. The National Center for Genome Resources is a nonprofit research institute dedicated to improving human health and nutrition. NCGR has a national reputation for development of custom bioinformatic resources for research communities. The New Mexico Genome Sequencing Center at NCGR provides massively parallel sequencing services using Illumina (Solexa) Genome Analyzers. NCGR also supplies software tools and services for analysis

3 All About The Human Genome Project

http://www.genome.gov/10001772

The Human Genome Project (HGP) was one of the great feats of exploration in history — an inward voyage of discovery rather than an outward exploration of the planet or the cosmos; an international research effort to sequence and map all of the genes - together known as the genome - of members of our species, Homo sapiens. Completed in April 2003, the HGP gave us the ability, for the first time, to read nature’s complete genetic blueprint for building a human being.

4 Anatomy - MedlinePlus

MedlinePlus is the National Institutes of Health’s Web site for patients and their families and friends. Produced by the National Library of Medicine, it brings you information about diseases, conditions, and wellness issues in language you can understand. Anatomy is the science that studies the structure of the body. On this page, you’ll find links to descriptions and pictures of the human body’s parts and organ systems from head to toe.
