She focuses on five topics that the theory argues proving them wrong‚ and using them for support. The first area the theory introduces “men are more promiscuous and less sexually reserved than women are” (30). Evolutionary psychology proposes that men are always after sex. They explicitly say men hold a special force attracting

Outline the Processes Involved in Evolution and Discuss how Evolutionary Psychologists have Contributed to our Understanding of Altruism as an Adaptive Behaviour The book of Genesis states that God created life in an array of fixed species and it was not until the 19th Century‚ that paleontological discoveries started to cast doubt on creationism and Charles Darwin published his theory of evolution in On the Origin of the Species (Clegg‚ 2007‚ p.120).

1.3 Transitional fossils A transitional fossil is any fossilised remains of a life form that has traits common to both a presumed ancestral group and its presumed derived descendant group. Transitional fossils are used as evidence to support evolutionary theory as they are suggested to demonstrate the gradual transition from one species to another through a multitude of changes. In essence‚ the transitional fossils are the remains of the species that have gone extinct‚ and these species are represented

Modern universal grammar is a result of the advancement of evolutionary psychology as portrayed by Charles Darwin’s evolutionary theories. Darwin believed that evolutionary psychology gave the human race it’s “first systematic way of understanding ourselves”. Grammar‚ while varying by language‚ is understood to be a systematic and proper for humans to communicate with each other and its use a result of natural selection given the youtube video‚ “Charles Darwin’s Legacy”.

Sex differences in parental investment and sexual selection are the evolutionary theory processes which suggest that our choice of partners is determined by the extent to which they possess certain features which help us to reproduce and prevent our species from extinction. Sexual selection states that some mates possess certain
