In this course, award-winning teacher and scholar Barbara J. Kingâ€"a William and Mary University Professor of Teaching Excellence from 1999-2002â€"delves into the story of how, why, where, and when we became human.
These lectures will help you understand the forces that have shaped, and continue to shape, our species. "An evolutionary perspective on human behavior," notes Dr. King, "results in more than just knowledge about dates and sitesâ€"when and where specific evolutionary milestones likely occurred. "It is also a window on the past and future of our species. An entirely new way of thinking comes into focus when we consider the human species within an evolutionary perspective."
