This course, presented in weekly lectures, is designed to introduce the core concepts of Evolutionary Psychology in relation to how we think and function as members of our society. It aims to show how deeply flawed our minds can become if we only rely on our intuitions and “default” beliefs, as they have evolved for a world much different than the modern one we currently find ourselves in. This introductory course will encourage people to critically think about the origin of our behavior and by understanding the reason behind many of our “irrationalities”, they can develop more empathy, both cognitive and affective, towards each other.
