In psychology there are two evolutionary perspectives of the study of the evolution of human behavior ^[1]: evolutionary psychology (the study of the evolution of human mental and psychological traits) and human behavioral ecology (the application of the principles of evolutionary theory and optimization to the study of human behavioral and cultural diversity). There is also a theory, the dual inheritance theory, also called "gene-culture coevolution", which theorizes that humans are products of the interaction between genetic evolution and cultural evolution. Sociobiology is the study of the evolution of human social behavior, and memetics is the study of human cultural information transfer based on the concept of the meme. ^[2].
