Topics in Evolution

Even though the theory of evolution has been around the last 150 years, within the last few decades it has re-emerged as the framework in which to evaluate the sciences and philosophy.

The purpose of this group is to explore the hard and soft sciences as well as philosophy with respect to evolution's influence on those topics. My intent is to cover one topic per meetup with some potential topics being Fundamentals of Evolution, Philosophy of Mind and Evolution, Evolutionary Biology, Evolutionary Psychology, Evolutionary Morality, Evolutionary Politics, etc.

If you're interested in learning more about evolution and discussing its impacts, then this group is for you.
