- SCI: 400 Ethology, Principles of animal behavior. In this lesson we explore reproductive behaviors in humans and other animals in response to low-resource and high-mortality environments. Additionally, we discuss physiological adaptations in humans to low-resource environments, and what effects those adaptations may have on individuals that transition into high-resource environments.

Thanks for the kind words! Yes, my name is James Lee. I work primarily in evolutionary theory and behavior in vertebrates (with a particular interest in fishes). Thanks for watching!
I wish my classes and professors were like this one , just watching and I actually learned things from this video :D!
very good teaching sir i impressed
Hello and thank you for your thoughts! Generally, we discuss any particular behavior from the following perspectives (this lecture was just focused on #5): We should probably tape more lectures!
1.Mechanism: How is the behavior manifested?
2.Function: What purpose does the behavior serve?
3.Causation; What stimuli elicit the behavior
4.Development: Does the behavior change over time in a developing individual?
5.Evolutionary history: How did the behavior evolve?
Good lecture, but it seems that this talk would be more aptly named Evolutionary Theory than animal behavior. Do you have any video of ethology principles further in the course?
this guy is great.... Is his name James Lee?
How does it really work: I pressed reply but it would not let me so I do it here.
For point #1 I would perhaps argue the reverse unless convinced otherwise. Why could not this just be an example of perhaps a superhuman to begin with, a remnant, and the rest, the 1000, degenerate. There are people that can live to 100 as smokers but that is just because of superior genetics. I don't know that you may attribute such to evolution as to something else.
#2 a concept for humans and other species is feelings. One can make a car better or worse but it will not care. A human with three eyes I imagine will care or something odd, not beautiful. What if it were that there was this I don't care that my sister has a really long tongue and my father has large webbed feet. Seems cartoonish and only fit for television, a fantasy, unheard of. Such oddities, such differences, these are not seen in nature. In the rough nature as I call it, living out in the wild, the species are unique to themselves and are what we would term beautiful.
We live in a world of laws, period. That is the reason people hate vaccinations because they don't work, they are bad for immunity, have caused more deaths than if not used, not to mention mercury.
