Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: The lesson takes the two basic questions about human from the point of departure: “How did man exist?” “How did man become“ human ”?” The first of these two questions is related to each other, and tries to grasp us in the field of natural existence we are part of. The second question focuses on the emergence and evolution of "culture", which distinguishes man from other living creatures and gives him the position of "super-living" being.
Course Content: Information about human and social sciences will be given in the course.
