Biology and Anthropology lectures

I've been interested in biology and anthropology for quite a while (in particular evolution) and for some reason this interest has grown much stronger over the last weeks. Sometimes I wonder whether I should have studied biology instead of psychology, but on the other hand I'm pretty happy I studied psychology because it has influenced the perspective with which I view the world in an interesting way. At the same time, there are many areas in biology I'm interested in and of which I only have a very basic understanding.

While I have a fairly good grasp of evolution, I really lack basic fundamentals of biology. I have therefore decided to take biology and anthropology lectures. Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to attend practicals but as a member of the university I can go to any lectures I want to. Matthew (who studied genetics) came over yesterday (with robster) and gave me some advice and I later printed the course information and read through it. I very much felt like a freshman again, going through the lecture list and creating a timetable. I've now decided to attend Biology of Cells, Physiology of Organisms, Animal Biology and possibly Evolution and Behaviour (although the latter might be too introductory).
