Mirror images? The evolution of our primate brain

What roles do fruits and viruses play in the evolution of our brain? How can studies on ecology and behaviour of chimpanzees and marmoset monkeys help us explain our own behaviour? These questions will be investigated in this lecture series developed by the University of Amsterdam. 

Ground breaking results of research in the field of animal psychology will be discussed in this lecture series of six evenings . You will follow lectures together with students of the Evolutionary Psychobiology minor and can attend a final symposium about their research projects.
