Course Objectives: | The aim of this course is to examine human behavior and cognition capacities from an adaption perspective. The content of this course are Darwin's theory of evolution and more recent theoretical developments related to this and the evolutionary basis of male and female mating strategies. The course also discusses how evolutionary thinking is to be a conceptual framework for integrating the overall psychology |
