Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

Evolutionary Psychology has created a radical perspective in explaining human psychology by being included in psychology in recent years. This point of view brings with it important sources of information in order not to overlook different views when dealing with people. The aim of the Evolutionary Psychology course is to deal with the various feelings, thoughts and behaviors of people individually and/or collectively from this point of view. Subjects such as human perception, cognition, emotions, social development, mate choice, altruism, morality and culture, together with current research and arguments, constitute the course agenda.

Course Content:

This course; Introduction,Basic Concepts (Natural Selection, Sexual Selection, Adaptation, Survival and Reproductive Success, etc.), Basic Concepts (Continued), Evolved Psychological Mechanisms, Origins of Survival, Growing Brain, Human Twinning, Human Twinning (Continued), Emotions in Humans ; Jealousy, Socialism, Violence and Aggression, Cooperation and Altruism, Morality, Criticism of Evolutionary Psychology; includes topics.
