This chapter seems to deal with genetics, the brain, the nervous system, and the endocrine system. It also seems to be how all of these affect people and how that can be studied through psychology. The most important sections were: Charles Darwin: He is known as the father of evolution, which is important when studying how humans act and make decisions Genetics and Behavior: behavior is the main focus of psychology so this seems central Neurotransmitters and drugs: drugs heavily impair the decisions a person makes Parts of the nervous system: this system is important in how we feel and perceive our environment, which is important for psychology brain imaging: studying the medical aspect of psychology
