PHIL 2400 - Philosophy of Biology

Are biological phenomena reducible to physical processes or do irreducible biological features exist? What is the relationship between microevolution and macroevolution? Does sociobiology have something to contribute to understanding of ethics? To what extent are the structures of the human mind products of evolution?

When Offered: Fall or spring term annually.
