Description

This lecture-based course is an introduction to the study of sex, love and attraction in humans and other animals. Although a broad-based perspective is taken throughout the course (using comparative, historical and cross-cultural approaches), evolutionary interpretations are emphasised. The goal of the class is to increase our understanding of the powerful influences of sex, love and attraction on our lives.

Note: Students enrolled in a Faculty of Science program cannot take this course.
