Sociobiology

Sociobiology is a field that explores how biological factors, particularly genetics and evolution, influence social behaviors in animals, including humans. It suggests that many social behaviors, such as cooperation, aggression, and mating strategies, have evolved to enhance survival and reproduction. By studying these behaviors through the lens of evolution, sociobiologists aim to understand the natural origins of human social structures and tendencies, blending insights from biology, anthropology, and psychology. While it provides valuable perspectives, the field has also sparked debates about nature versus nurture and the implications for understanding human behavior and society.
