PSY 225 - Evolutionary Psychology

Prerequisite(s): PSY 100 .
This course investigates how evolutionary principles shape body and mind. In the same way that physiological systems (e. g. , cardiovascular, respiratory, immune) can be described as products of natural selection, psychological systems (e. g. , language, memory, emotions) can be described as mental adaptations acquired by the same processes.
