Explore human diversity, both physical and genetic, within an evolutionary framework. The scientific method is applied to the sociocultural contexts that give rise to prejudices in order to critically evaluate misconceptions regarding race, gender, and human behaviors deemed 'natural’. Approaching human diversity from an evolutionary perspective dismantles biases that justify prejudice and result in unequal access to power and resources as well as negative health impacts.
