Course Description
Why do animals and other organisms sometimes compete and sometimes cooperate? How do organisms in groups interact, how do they organize themselves or make group decisions? This course will give you some answers to these questions. We will discuss how social behavior evolves, and how it changes the life style of the animals that display it. We will also discuss whether this research can teach us about human social behavior.
