This course introduces the student to cognition and social behavior from an evolutionary and comparative perspective. The cognitive portion of the course presents the methods employed and results obtained during field observations and laboratory experiments on animal cognitive processes. The social behavior portion will focus on social behaviors found in wild animals with special attention to those also seen in humans. Evolutionary theory, especially as it applies to social behavior, will be presented and the course will overview the methods and findings of the field called evolutionary psychology, which presently investigates selected aspects of human cognition and social behavior.
