Institution:

Washington University in St Louis

Subject:

Description:

What is unique about humans? And what is universal among human beings? Is human nature the product of a specific genome or is it shaped by human cultures? Does it make sense to think of nature as the opposite of nurture? We consider aspects of human nature in domains such as family and gender, political coalitions, religious extremism, ethnic identity, and morality,from the viewpoints of cultural anthropology, philosophy, evolutionary biology, and psychology.
