[Career] How to study evolutionary biology more directly, from social sciences? Should I do so, given my background? What careers would it open up? :-)

Hi!

(I really think you folks could be in a good position to have useful answers, but sorry if I'm being a bit off-topic for this subreddit :-) ).

A few years ago, I started an undergrad degree in social sciences... and immediately started feeling like it all would be a ton more interesting if it included a more evolutionary viewpoint, and was more connected to the hard sciences in general. When my undergrad finished, I decided to switch gears and move toward cognitive science, with a specific focus on evolutionary social sciences. And so I did. I am now having a great time! Getting to talk with the very researchers whose work motivated me to move toward that stuff is great fun! But, while I wanted evolutionary social sciences in undergrad, now that I have it, there are two other things I want. And perhaps you folks can tell me how to get them, to what extent I should get them, how to come to terms with the fact that I want them, etc.

Basically, the main thing is that what I'm doing these days has awaken my interest in biology, both evolutionary biology and biology in general. Just today, I watched a lecture in intro biology instead of binge-watching Netflix, and so now i'm like... surely, I could use this interest for *something*? I mean, there's got to be ways for me to use that to become better at evolutionary social sciences, even though I can't really see how, given that one does not in fact need a strong background in biology to apply evolutionary thinking to social sciences. At any rate, I'm always one for second-guessing my choices, so I *want* to do something with this interest in biology, instead of letting it sit there and turn into a nagging feeling that I "should" never have studied social sciences, and that I "should" have become a biologist instead *

And the second thing is that I'm not convinced the academic world would suit me, and in fact I'd much prefer having a clear path laid out before me, a professional career I could follow. And I'm not sure which careers are open for me given my background, although I know that such careers exist ("something something evidence-based public policy", "something something data science", "something something science writing", "something something something completely different", etc.).

* That specific aspect of the problem isn't something you folks would have much to say about, but I mention it for completeness: I'm autistic, and I guess that has meant both an interest in social science, and wanting to understand how these pesky humans behave ; as well as a strong desire to do the exact opposite, and get away from real people and become some kind of lab rat :-) Hence, i'm interested in social science enough to have somehow ended up in my current path... and yet I'm still, and have long been, unreasonably attracted to "not doing social science anymore".
