ANTH 0669 - SEX AND EVOLUTION


Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course analyzes sexual phenomena from a Darwinian perspective. It is intended for students with no college training in biology, and begins by developing the basics of modern evolutionary and genetic theory. These theories are then applied in analyzing a series of problems relating to sex; why did sexual reproduction evolve; how does evolution maintain the sex ratio; what are female” and “male”, and to what extent will evolution foster differences between the two; what kinds of mating and parental strategies have evolved?”
