Sociobiology
Sociobiology
is a field of
scientific
study that is based on the hypothesis that
social behavior
has resulted from
evolution
and attempts to explain and examine social behavior within that context. It is a branch of
biology
that deals with social behavior, and also draws from
ethology
,
anthropology
,
evolution
,
zoology
,
archaeology
,
population genetics
, and other disciplines. Within the study of human
societies
, sociobiology is very closely allied to the fields of
Darwinian anthropology
,
human behavioral ecology
and
evolutionary psychology
.
