    Comparative Psychology, also known as Evolutionary Psychology, attempts to improve our understanding of basic psychological processes via a thorough examination and comparison of similar or analogous processes among a variety of species. During this course the student will compare various species' ways of dealing with common behaviors like sleep, eating, biological rhythms, learning, reproductive behavior and social behavior. The comparative method allows us to trace the evolutionary trajectory of our species. Doing so may help us better understand what/who we are now and what our species may become in the future. The course involves observational, experimental and field laboratory work. Prerequisites: Biology majors should have had SSCI 224 or consent. Psychology majors should have had PSYC 301 or Instructor's consent. Alternate Spring semesters (odd numbered years). (A change in the composition of the Psychology Faculty may affect this course.).
