our past‚ as well as assist in predicting our future. Evolutionary psychology (EP) will be the standard someday in our lifetimes. The reason is when we look at what we were it allows us to decode our past which‚ will help us correctly write our future. We may be decedents of animals but that does not mean that we have to constantly act as if we are uncivilized. I have always felt that my heart has been in biology‚ and as an evolutionary psychologist I understand that behavior is just an adaptation

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”. In “Charles Darwin’s

in the new environmental conditions (O’neil‚ 2011). We must think of evolution as simply change‚ changes in species to adapt and survive in their environments. In a stable environment‚ there is no selection pressure on organisms to change‚ so evolutionary stasis is the result. The creation and extinction of species on Earth is considered to take hundreds of millions of years to occur‚ based on the carbon dating process of fossils‚ rock formations‚ and erosion evidence from wind and water.

zebra stripes According to ontological evidence‚ zebras’ background coloration is black. The white stripping appears at a later developmental phase. The development of zebra stripping can thus be viewed as an evolutionary response (Egri et al.‚ 2011). Any discussion regarding the evolutionary purpose of zebra stripes is inevitably traced back to Darwin and Wallace. While Wallace suggested that zebra stripes developed as a camouflaging mechanism against attacks from predators in tall grass‚ Darwin

When comparing to the evolution theory‚ which is back up by scientific statistic of the human development‚ Divine theory is more likely to be unreal. The evolutionary theory provides a more reasonable theory explaining the existence of language as the enhancement of the communication form and physical development of human. As the society in the past is rather simple‚ therefore the early human beings only using

The biological explanations have three main approaches: psychodynamic theory‚ ethology and evolutionary social psychology. In contrast‚ the social explanations include: frustration-aggression hypothesis‚ excitation transfer model and social learning theory. In this essay I will discuss about ethology and the social learning theory. Ethology is a
