The course: In this course, the biological study of behavior, we study animal behavior, especially in that ocurring in natural conditions in an evolutionary perspective.

Interest: For a psychologist, to know animal behavior is a way of understanding human behavior, understanding the human-animal interaction, looking after animal well-being, and helping humans with some mental and neurological difficulties.
