medicine in culture, economics and politics. Uses a historical
approach to examine changing patterns of disease, the causes of
morbidity and mortality, evolution of medical theory and practice,
development of hospitals and the medical profession, the rise of the
biomedical research industry, and the ethics of health care in

>STS.009 Evolution and Society</a></blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><tt>Provides a broad conceptual and
historical introduction to scientific theories of evolution and their
place in the wider culture. Embraces historical, scientific and
anthropological/cultural perspectives grounded in relevant
developments in the biological sciences since 1800 that are largely
responsible for the development of the modern theory of evolution by
natural selection. Students read key texts, analyze key debates (e.g.
Darwinian debates in the 19th century, and the creation controversies
in the 20th century) and give class presentations.</tt></blockquote>
