By Lawrence Solum
ADVERTISEMENTS
Edwin S. Fruehwald (Hofstra University - School of Law) has posted An Introduction to Behavioral Biology for Legal Scholars on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
-
Over the last ten years, behavioral biology has become an important tool for legal scholars. In fact, an informal survey rated behavioral biology as the second most important development in the legal academy since 2000. This paper will present the basics of behavioral biology for legal scholars. After giving an introduction to brain science, it will discuss such topics as the selfish gene and reciprocal altruism, universals, sexual selection, morality, culture, and the social contract.
