Description:

Group 2,1 course Are humans by nature violent If so, then how do we explain cooperation in human communities If cooperation is the norm, then how do we account for warfare What are the foundations of power and inequalities in societies In this course we explore many of these classical topics from an interdisciplinary perspective that encompasses biology, philosophy, history, and ethics. But all of this is informed by anthropology's cross-cultural and cross-temporal perspective.
