Roots of Human Behavior - TTC (12 lectures, 30 minutes/lecture)
Course No. 168
Taught by Barbara J. King
The College of William and Mary
Ph.D., University of Oklahoma
While human history is usually studied from the perspective of a few hundred years, anthropologists consider deeper causes for the ways we act. In this course, anthropologist Barbara J. King uses her wealth of research experience to open a window of understanding for you into the legacy left by our primate past. These lectures look for the roots of human behavior in the behavior of other primates: monkeys, apes, and human ancestors.
In these lectures, you explore such questions as:
• Are language and technology unique to humans?
• Have human love and loyalty developed from emotions of our primate cousins?
• Do the ways in which human males and females relate to each other come from our primate past?
• Have we inherited a biological tendency for aggression?
• How much of our behavioral, cognitive, and cultural identity have we inherited from our closest living relatives?
• How can the study of monkeys and apes lead us to a fuller picture of who we are?
