  • This course explores human sexuality through an evolutionary lens, with a primary focus on sexual selection theory. We will examine how fundamental biological differences between the sexes give rise to diverse patterns of sexual behavior, not only across species but also within and among human societies. By integrating perspectives from evolutionary biology, the course provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the complex interplay between behavior, biology, environment, and culture.
