'''Evolutionary neuroscience''' is an [[interdisciplinary]] scientific research field that attempts to understand the [[evolution]] and [[natural history]] of [[nervous system]] structure and function. The field draws on concepts and findings from both [[neuroscience]] and [[evolutionary biology]]. Historically, most empirical work has been in the area of [[comparative neuroanatomy]]; however, conceptually and theoretically the field is related to fields as diverse as [[comparative psychology]], [[neuroethology]], [[developmental neurobiology]], [[evo-devo]], [[behavioral ecology]], [[anthropology]] and [[evolutionary psychology]].
