These notes are intended to help undergraduates who need to
understand something of behavior both for its intrinsic interest
and for their future careers in medicine, biology, psychology,
anthropology, veterinary medicine, and nursing. In Emory
University's Biology Department, a single-semester course called
Evolutionary Perspectives on Behavior is given to undergraduates.
It amounts to four, not eight months of study, so a great deal of
compression is essential. There are several excellent textbooks
available that deal with behavioral science from different
perspectives, but we have found them too compendious for use in a
short course when students are so heavily burdened; it is
unsatisfactory to direct them to a chapter here and there in
several different books or to this or that review article and
original paper. In this volume, we have tried effectively and
inexpensively to put in one place what we know is needed. The
topics we have selected deal with their subjects in a simple,
straightforward way without being too superficial. We could not
cover everything and the gaps are not entirely idiosyncratic but
reflect what students are given very well in other courses. Thus,
there is no mention of the physiology of the axon and synapse;
learning, memory, cognition, and basic genetics are hardly touched
upon because students know about these matters from elsewhere.
