TITLE: Evolutionary Perspectives on Human Behavior
DATE: January 10 & 24, 2013
TIME: 8:30-3:00
LOCATION: University Hall, ADP Center Room 1143
INSTRUCTOR: Scott L. Kight, Ph.D.
Ever since Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, people have argued about its application to our own species. In this workshop, we will approach the study of human behavior from diverse evolutionary perspectives, including comparative biology, sociobiology, behavioral ecology, evolutionary psychology, and cultural evolution. The goal of this workshop is to critically compare, contrast, and synthesize these perspectives in an attempt to better understand the biological and historical processes that contribute to our human natures.
