The course is mainly based on the research and teaching experience of the author at the Ghent University where he was holder of the course Social biology for students in the social and behavioural sciences, and on his research activities at the Population and Family Study Centre (CBGS), Flemish Scientific Institute, Brussels. Although this course is mainly addressed to people with a social science background, it might also be useful for people with biological interests, and in general, for students interested in the complex interrelations between biological and social processes in modern culture.The main objective of the course is the understanding of the terms and theories of evolutionary and social biology which is a very useful knowledge for students social sciences.
Osnova
  • The course aims at giving an overview of the bio-social interactions in modern society related to the various sources of human biological variation. For each source of variation it starts from the evolutionary background, looks at the variability-specific bio-social interrelations, and confronts evolutionary background, variability-specific ideologies and adaptive needs in modern society. It includes the following basic topics:
  • The evolutionary background of bio-social interactions in the human species;
  • Individual variation and individualism;
  • Age variation and ageism;
  • Sexual variation and sexism;
  • Family variation and familism;
  • Reproductive variation and natalism;
  • Social variation and socialism;
  • Racial variation and racism;
  • Intergenerational variation and eugenism.
