PSY-3012 - Evolutionary Psychology

Semester Credits: 3 Weeks: 8

Evolutionary psychology is the application of Darwin’s theory of evolution to problems of mind and behavior. In this course, we examine major topics of evolutionary psychology such as adaptive design of human brain/mind, parent-child conflict, kinship, mating strategies, altruism, and cooperation, aggression/warfare, culture, and morality and religion. Students will have the opportunity to apply the concepts in this course to real life observations and scenarios.
