Human beings, the homo sapiens, are the most developed organisms among all creatures on this earth. Their ability to walk upright, larger brain size relative to body weight, and the proportion of specialised brain tissues make them distinct from other species. These features have evolved through millions of years and have enabled them to engage in several complex behaviours.
Scientists have attempted to study the relationship of complex human behaviour with the processes of the nervous system, particularly of the brain. They have tried to discover the neural basis of thoughts, feelings, and actions. For learning human behavior we must keep note of the biological as well as cultural or human aspect of the behavior development.
By understanding the biological aspects of human beings, we are be able to appreciate how brain, environment and culture interact to generate unique forms of behaviour. For better understanding we must understand the general description of the nervous system in an evolutionary perspective. We must also study the structure and functions of the nervous system. the knowledge about the endocrine system, and its influence on human behaviour is also an important aspect. Understanding of cultural influence on behavior is an important aspect. Finally an analysis of the processes of enculturation, socialisation, and acculturation will prepare anyone for studying further about the human behavior.
