AIMS AND CONTENT A basic tenet of evolutionary psychology is that humans are not born as “blank slates”, with unlimited plasticity. Rather, how we perceive, feel, and act is influenced by natural selection during the time in which our ancestors have lived in the “envi-ronment of evolutionary adaptedness”, the presumed conditions under which our species, Homo sapiens sapiens, has evolved. In this class, we will present and dis-cuss contributions and limitations of an evolutionary approach to the understanding of human interpersonal behavior, with an emphasis on cooperative and competi-tive/aggressive behavior, mate selection and sexuality. TEACHING METHODS Presentations by students and discussions. PROVISIONAL BIBLIOGRAPHY Rossano, M.J. (2003). Evolutionary psychology. New York: Wiley.
