Biology and Human Behavior: The Neurological Origins of Individuality
by Professor Robert Sapolsky of Stanford University (A Teaching Company audio
recording) - When are we responsible for our own actions, and when are we in the
grip of biological forces beyond our control? This intriguing question is the
scientific province of behavioral biology, a field that explores interactions
among the brain, mind, body, and environment that have a surprising influence on
how we behave—from the people we fall in love with, to the intensity of our
spiritual lives, to the degree of our aggressive impulses. In short, it is the
study of how our brains make us the individuals that we are.

Biology:
The Science of Life (The Teaching Company) taught by Professor Stephen Nowicki,
Duke University - This intensive, 72-lecture course will give you the
background and guidance to explore in depth the fundamental principles of how
living things work—principles such as evolution by natural selection, the
cellular structure of organisms, the DNA theory of inheritance, and other key
ideas that will help you appreciate the marvelous diversity and complexity of
life.
You will explore living systems at all levels, from biological molecules to
global ecosystems.
You will discover the mechanisms behind such intriguing phenomena as why
children resemble their parents, what causes plants to bend toward light, how
memories are stored, why some birds have very long tails, and how life itself
began on Earth.
Above all, you will learn how to think about biology, so that in your day-to-day
life you will understand the significance and complexities of news stories,
medical issues, and public debates, not to mention what is going on in your own
garden and in nature all around you.
Professor Nowicki presents the subject in a conceptual format, emphasizing the
importance of broad principles. Facts and details are offered in abundance, but
in the context of developing a framework that listeners can absorb.
