Human Ecology & Evolution?

Does Evolution fit in with Human Ecology?
I am writing a simple paper on Human Ecology for a gen ed intro to ecology class and the outline is as follows:

Human Ecology Defined: What is Human Ecology?

Establishment of Human Ecology: Include many of the “founders” of human ecology & it’s history.

Human Ecology & Evolution: Types of evolution (social, cultural, sociocultural? Theories etc.

Social Evolution:

Cultural Evolution: Predictive Theory- Structures & Forces

Criticisms of Evolution Theories:

Future of the Field of Human Ecology

Is discussing evolution too biological? I am not very experienced with Ecology, so I am not sure if evolution fits appropriately. I am a Psychology major so when asked to write a paper on an ecology topic I chose Human Ecology because I THOUGHT that would be the easiest for me, however, I am still having some insecurities about it. Please give me your insight! Do you think this goes well enough? Thanks! Oh & the paper only have to be 5-7 pages so I can cut out some areas if needed!
