Maggie Ritten Monday‚ September 30‚ 2013 Prof.Carrier Psych 108 In the articles I read‚ the origin of art is highly contested. However‚ that is irrelevant to the question of the evolutionary advantage of art creation. In strict Darwinian terms‚ selective advantage is a characteristic of an organism that enables it to survive and reproduce better than other organisms.1 Under this definition‚ there is a selective advantage for creating art. Creating art requires advanced cognitive dexterity

You seem to like working in a laboratory while I like to explore the world and see nature as it happens. Our methods of study are almost opposite‚ but both reveal much information. Every organism’s difference is a variation. While I traveled to the Galapagos‚ I noticed many variations in the finch species. From island to island‚ each finch bird has a different type

The evolutionary approach suggests that our behaviour is determined through natural selection; therefore it is coded into our genes through how we have adapted. It is a biological approach and states nature over nurture. A criticism of this approach is that it is determinist as it suggests that the way we behave is dictated through natural selection‚ for example in gender roles men being strong hunters and wanting a younger female partner. It ignores other suggestions‚ such as how we are brought

Freud’s development of thought was profoundly shaped and influenced by several interrelated but distinct factors‚ which sometimes coincided with each other. However‚ it must be noted that despite these influences‚ Freud was notoriously a highly original thinker. Charcot and Breuer had a direct and unwavering impact upon Sigmund Freud‚ but some of the other factors‚ though no less imperative than these‚ were of a rather different nature (Thornton‚ n.d).

article is a description of the naturalist Charles Darwin and his voyage aboard the H.M.S Beagle. In the article‚ Quammen talks about theory and explains what it is. He states that Darwinism was just a theory. In the article he talks about how “45% of responding U.S. adults agreed that God created human beings pretty much in their present form at one time within the last ten thousand years” (Quammen‚ 1). Quammen then begins to present the evidence that Darwin was correct in some of his theories but

but there is one theory that has altered the way the human race thinks about how life had come about‚ and the changes millions of species around the world have made in the past to get to where they are today. The idea of simple organisms migrating‚ dying off‚ adapting‚ thriving and changing to fit their needs of survival was unheard of‚ or solely disregarded‚ for it was not supported by many or misunderstood.

attraction: Biological and evolutionary reasons of mate choice ABSTRACT Within the past decade we have witnessed a series of new developments and an enormously growing interest in the understanding of human behaviour‚ especially when it comes to the basic principles of human mate choice. Mate preference is something which is often considered a very individual choice and appears to be influenced by cultural and economic norms. However‚ on the basis of numerous research works‚ it is a today’s acceptation
