ELS203: Sex: its basis in evolution, genetics, development, neuroscience and behaviour |
This course provides a broad survey of the topic of sex across the animal kingdom. The range of topics include biology, psychology, chemistry, and human geography. We examine why sex has evolved at all, how sex is determined genetically and developmentally, the neuroscience and neurochemistry of sex, and how the struggle for reproduction has driven the history of life. Human sex will also be featured, including intimate relationships, attachment, romantic love, sexual relationships, and the demography and population geography of marriage, sex, and contraception use. Coordinated overall and team taught by experts, this general education course wraps important intellectual materials around an appealing topic. These important intellectual materials include evolution, genetics, sexual selection, neuroscience (including neurochemistry), biological development, social psychology, and demography.
