Roots of Human Behavior

This series of 12 lectures explores the deep evolutionary roots of human behavior by examining our primate relatives, addressing questions about language, emotion, social relationships, and aggression. Led by an expert anthropologist, the course uncovers key moments in primate evolution and how studying monkeys and apes can illuminate our understanding of human identity. It offers a comprehensive look at how our biological and cultural traits may have been shaped by our shared ancestry. Complemented by reference materials, the lectures provide a nuanced perspective on the complex connections within the human family.
