PSYC 87.02 Genes, Evolution, and Behavior

In this course, we will examine how genetic methodologies and evolutionary theory have been used to explain the nature and origins of individual differences in behavior and its underlying neural mechanisms. Ranging from genetic association studies in humans to transgenic techniques with animals, these methods have provided both answers and questions about how heredity and environmental influences impact various traits.  Students will have the opportunity to explore a particular topic of their choosing in greater depth.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
