Course Catalog Description
This course analyzes human behavior in light of evolutionary principles (such as natural and kin selection) and in comparison with other animal species. Topics include how humans evolved different adaptations to their environment, such as embodied (digestive and sensory systems), cognitive (tool use, language), and social (cooperation, political systems) adaptations and finally how human behavior has co-evolved with technology in the Neolithic, industrial and digital ages.
