Economics. You only see a persons real nature and true colours when money is on the line. =)

On a slightly more serious note, Psychology?

Physical and/or social anthropology would fit the bill pretty precisely.

lol, so true

i thought about psychology but although it covers a lot of behavioral topics most the scientific topics are less about learning about the body and rather about learning about drugs and medicines.

That's social anthropology. As the name might suggest, physical anthropology is more focused on the 'science' (i.e. The genetic development of hominids)

At least now you know the course name of something you're potentially interested in. Different universities have different course structures so you could check that out.
