Socioecology About Primate Behavior

205 Words1 Page

Relation of Socioecology and Sociobiology about Primates Behavior Socioecology is a scientific study in what way environment and social behavior interrelates; and how environment influences or effects the social behavior. On the other hand, Socioebiology is a study of the association concerning behavior and natural selections. What is more fascinating about Sociobiology is that it examines, inspects, and investigates that social behavior is a product of natural selections in all non-human primates, as well as humans.
In primate behavior, Socioecology comprehends that primate social group is determined by the environment they are living in and how they can adapt. In my opinion, each primate’s day-to-day survival to environment plays a big role

  • Non-Human Primate Culture

    144 Words  | 1 Pages

    Although it may be hard to believe, scientists have performed experiments providing proof that non-human primates, as well as other species, do in fact have culture. Primate adults share their knowledge by teaching their young the tools and tricks they have learned from generations before them in their own particular social group. Primates have been found to have many things in common in what we believed was human culture. For example, primates live together in groups. While one social group may differfrom the other in the ways they eat, hunt, and socialize because the groups have learned the knowledge from older generations therefore they have adapted differently and have their own culture.

  • Social Psychology, Introduction To The Primates, And Global Information Law

    249 Words  | 1 Pages

    The daytime programs I’m most interested in are Social Psychology, Introduction to the Primates, and Global Information Law & Policy. I’m intrigued by how the mind works and why certain people behave the way they do. Sometimes, when I’m observing people around me questions come to my mind on what, why, and how people are acting in a particular way. For example, when I was watching the news on the Paris bombings I struggled to understand how a group of individuals can be influenced to do such horrible actions.

  • Sociological Criticism Of Sociobiology

    994 Words  | 4 Pages

    The authors point out that “much of the criticism leveled against sociobiology appears to target a straw man (148).” What the authors mean by this is that many sociological critics of sociobiology, who are ill-informed about its fundamental principles, wage critiques against sociobiology that are unfair and misguided. They misunderstand—or ignoring—the research in support of sociobiology. And thus their warnings against its dangers are not grounded in reality, nor addressed to sociobiologists, themselves; but to their own false, or misguided understandings of what sociobiology actually is. -----------------
