Evolutionary psychology

Welcome to the Evolutionary Psychology learning project.

Summary

Evolutionary Psychology is a scientific exploration of the evolution of mind and patterns of behavior. This learning project provides activities for exploration of psychology from the perspective of evolutionary biology.

Learning materials

Wikiversity has adopted the "learning by doing" model for education. Lessons should center on learning activities for Wikiversity participants. Learning materials and learning projects can be used by multiple projects. Cooperate with other departments that use the same learning resource.

Do women and men think differently? - Readings and discussion
...

Learning materials and learning projects are located in the main Wikiversity namespace. Simply make a link to the name of the lesson (lessons are independent pages in the main namespace) and start writing!

The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees has directed the Wikiversity community away from courses (the Board's comments). Wikiversity participants are encouraged to innovate and create learning experiences that take full advantage of the wiki format of online community interactions. Non-traditional Learning Projects that are oriented towards learning about conventional course subjects are encouraged within Wikiversity. See: Wikiversity:Learning and Portal:Education.
