Introduction: What is this section all about? 
As I say in the subtitle to this page, it is about "how considering where we've been can help us deal with where we're at and plan for wherever we might go in the future". I'm interested in studying about our species' past in order to better understand how we got the way we are today. Also, I think that doing so can enable us to live better lives on into the future. 

I don't really know quite yet whether or not my educational desires and goals or my passion for helping others really fits into any single field. However, I think the areas of scientific study listed below my comments on this page are most likely a good place for me to get started in my search. At present (20031019), my main interests seem to be related to the area of evolutionary psychology and sociobiology. 

The articles listed above on this page are my attempt at breaking into the following fields of study. 

Evolutionary Biology, Evolutionary Psychology, Paleopsychology, Sociobiology, Human Evolution, Human Ecology and Paleoanthropology
