>industry, and the ethics of health care in America.

>Evolution and Society
>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.
