Evolutionary neuroscience 1555376 212664771 2008-05-15T19:02:07Z 206.170.111.2 /* See also */ '''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]]. ==See also== * [[Evolutionary biology]] * [[Neuroscience]] * [[Comparative psychology]] * [[Evolutionary psychology]] * [[Terrence Deacon]] * [[Neuroethology]] * [[Ethology]] * [[Georg F.
