AI Thread Summary
To study Sociobiology, a strong foundation in Biology is essential, along with specialized courses in evolution and adaptive fitness analysis, which may require knowledge of statistics and mathematics. Taking courses in Anthropology can be beneficial, but it's important to be aware of potential biases in social sciences. For additional resources, reaching out to professionals in the field, such as experienced biologists, can provide valuable guidance. Engaging with academic communities and forums can also enhance understanding and offer support in the learning process. Starting with these steps will help build a comprehensive understanding of Sociobiology.

Biology is a must.

You should also take specialized courses on evolution and adaptive fitness analysis, and since these may well involve statistics and maths, don't skimp on those topics, either!

It will certainly be advantageous to take some courses on anthropology, but beware of the unempirical biases within the social "sciences".
 


Thanks for your Answer.
can you name a site for more information about how to start studying sociobiology?
 


I'm sorry.

But you could PM our erstwhile moderator and still member Moonbear.

She is a professional biologist, and may possibly give you some relevant information.
 


thanks arildno.

Thread 'Did they discover another descendant of homo erectus?'

The study provides critical new insights into the African Humid Period, a time between 14,500 and 5,000 years ago when the Sahara desert was a green savanna, rich in water bodies that facilitated human habitation and the spread of pastoralism. Later aridification turned this region into the world's largest desert. Due to the extreme aridity of the region today, DNA preservation is poor, making this pioneering ancient DNA study all the more significant. Genomic analyses reveal that the...

Thread 'Warning of new opiod drug (nitazene) on the streets: Question re strength...'

Whenever these opiods are mentioned they usually mention that e.g. fentanyl is "50 times stronger than heroin" and "100 times stronger than morphine". Now it's nitazene which the public is told is everything from "much stronger than heroin" and "200 times stronger than fentany"! Do these numbers make sense at all? How do they arrive at them? Kill thousands of mice? En passant: nitazene have already been found in both Oxycontin pills and in street "heroin" here, so Naloxone is more...
