Evolution of Behaviour

Evolution of behaviour is the study of how inherited behavioural patterns in animals - and humans - develop and change over time in response to their environments. This field of science looks at both the physical and mental aspects of behavioural evolution, and how behaviour is shaped by both genetic and environmental factors. It is an important field of study as it helps us to better understand the factors affecting how species interact with each other and their environment, and can be used to improve conservation efforts and inform public policy.
