Description
This course seeks to explain vertebrate (especially human) behavior, traditionally within the domain of psychology, in terms of the biological disciplines of physiology, development, and evolution. Behavior will thus be examined from the viewpoint of both the psychologist and the biologist with common themes emerging from the two somewhat different views. The course provides an introduction to the biological mechanisms most relevant to key issues in psychology. Prerequisite: PY 101 or BI 111. 2015 CORE: Explorations of Nature, Contribute, Interdisciplinary Studies. FA.
