The course of anthropogenetics in a classical university

  • L. A. Atramentova

Abstract

The article describes the principles of teaching the course of anthropogenetics in a classical university, taking into account the needs of various branches of science and practical activity: medicine, pedagogy, psychology, criminology, pharmacology, etc. The main examples of the most frequent mistakes in the planning and organization of anthropogenetic research are given. These examples concern the approaches and methods of genetics in solving scientific and practical problems associated with human heredity. The most outstanding achievements of Kharkov anthropogenetic school as the center of systematic research in the field of human genetics in Ukraine are described. The description of the training course of anthropogenetics, taught at the Biological Faculty of the V.N. Karazin Kharkov National University is given.

Keywords: anthropogenetics.
