Stanford BIO 150 Lecture 3: Behavioral Evolution II — Tournament vs. Pair-Bonded Species
Professor of Biology and Neurology
Shows how sexual dimorphism, parental investment asymmetry, infanticide dynamics, and genomic imprinting follow testable evolutionary predictions across primates.
(April 2, 2010) Robert Sapolsky continues his two-part series on evolution focusing on individual and kin selection, behavioral logic, competitive infanticide, male/female animal hierarchies, sex-ratio fluctuation, intersexual competition, imprinted genes, sperm competition, inbred-founder populations, group and multi-level selection, and punctuated equilibrium.
