sociobiology

Examples of sociobiology in the following topics:

• Sociobiology

  • A sociobiological explanation of humans running might argue that human beings are good at running because our bodies have evolved to run bipedally.
  • Sociobiology is a field of scientific study which is based on the assumption that social behavior has resulted from evolution.
  • Wilson's book, Sociobiology: The New Synthesis .
  • Wilson is a central figure in the history of sociobiology.
  • Discuss the concept of sociobiology in relation to natural selection and Charles Darwin, as well as genetics and instinctive behaviors

• Cognitive Learning and Sociobiology

  • Sociobiology is an interdisciplinary science originally popularized by social insect researcher E.O.
  • The main thrust of sociobiology is that animal and human behavior, including aggressiveness and other social interactions, can be explained almost solely in terms of genetics and natural selection.
  • Sociobiology also links genes with behaviors and has been associated with "biological determinism," the belief that all behaviors are hardwired into our genes.

• The Origins of Patriarchy

  • The modern term for using biological explanations to explain social phenomena is sociobiology.
  • One evolutionary sociobiological theory for the origin of patriarchy begins with the view that females almost always invest more energy into producing offspring than males and, as a result, females are a resource over which males compete.
  • These sociobiological theories of patriarchy are counterbalanced by social constructionist theories that emphasize how certain cultures manufacture and perpetuate gender roles.
  • Argue in favor of either a sociobiological or social constructionist explanation of patriarchy

• Families and Theory

• Theories of Gender Differences

  • In fact, this approach - in combination with Evolutionary Psychological and Sociobiological perspectives on sex / gender has thus far only found empirical validation when gender inequalities are assumed to be natural and/or appropriate conditions, and only received legitimacy within anti-feminist social movements, religious organizations, and scientific communities promoting the "male/female" or "XX/XY" mythology.
