Abstract
Research within the area of Evolution, Biology, and Society examines the interaction between the social and the biological and its effects on social phenomena. This research is conducted not only within sociology but also across a wide variety of other disciplines, including anthropology, political science, economics, psychology, and the life sciences. In sociology this research includes the use of theory and findings from evolutionary biology to develop theory and hypotheses about human social behavior (evolutionary sociology, evolutionary demography, biodemography), research integrating biology into demography and research that involves the formal modeling of evolutionary processes (biodemography), research on the biological and neurological bases of human social behavior (neurosociology), and research examining the interaction of biochemicals including genes and hormones with social environments on social phenomena (biodemography, biosociology and sociogenomics). This chapter will give a brief overview of research within each of these often overlapping areas, with a focus on the research done within the discipline of sociology.
