Course Title:
Sociobiology
Course Description:
Focuses on the biological basis for the evolution of social behavior. Incorporates ethology (animal behavior), ecology, population biology, and evolutionary theory to explain the origins and diversity of social organization in animals. Reviews studies of nonhuman animals that best illustrate evolutionary principles and theories. Information on human behavior is reviewed where applicable and studied within an evolutionary perspective. Through practical and theoretical assignments, provides students an opportunity to research in the areas of ethology and sociobiology, giving them novel tools to interpret the natural world around them in a very different way.
