Intersexual selection is where certain characteristics increase the chances of being selected as a mate in between groups. For example, kindness is a characteristic that most human beings view as a valuable trait when looking for a mate. When I see a person helping an elderly individual cross a street I feel a sense of appreciation toward that person. Whereas, when I see an individual neglect to help someone in need I feel a little bit angered that the individual is too selfish to spare a minute of his or her time to help. Additionally, kin selection is the tendency to offer more help to people with more genetic overlap with us. Kin selection can be a reason as to why helping and altruism is an adaptive trait for human beings because a person is more inclined to assist people who are closer in relation to them, genetically speaking. If a fire were to emerge in my apartment building, I am more likely to save my sister than my roommate because I care more for my sister and she is my sibling who is genetically related to me. The trait of helping and altruism or selflessness is adaptive to humans because it is a characteristic that people genuinely like for intersexual selection and for kin

    Why Nonhuman Primates Engage in Infanticide When anthropologists began to study infanticide, it was seen only as abnormal and counterproductive behaviour. Anthropologists could not discover any positive reasons for primates to engage in infanticide. This is partly due to the fact that infanticide is seen as criminal and deviant in human society. A second reason was due to a lack of evidence and insufficient research done about infanticide. Initially, infanticide was considered bizarre because under natural conditions, animals of the same species rarely kill each other.…

    In both Unyong-jon and Mujong (The Heartless) the roles of the women characters serve as critical players for progression of the novels. From the novel Unyong-jon, the characters of Unyong can be compared to the character of Park Yong-ch’ae from Mujong. Due to the difference between the two novels time periods, the stories contrast sharply while similarly telling the story of relationships between the women characters and their lovers. By contrasting the two characters roles to each other, a comparison can be made as to how the time period played a significant factor in the outcome and actions of the women in each story. These women characters aid in the better understanding of their roles during the contrasting time periods of the two novels.…

    In this paper, I will argue that people who should be considered to be altruistic are those who act magnanimously to those outside of their family or general social group. I will use examples such as kin selection, animal altruism, and arguments against psychological egoism to assist in proving my thesis to be true. I will also address a counter argument made by some psychological egoists who believe that due to most people feeling pleasure while doing good things for others, that there are no people only act selfishly. I will reference James Rachel ’s essay “Psychological Egoism” to help enhance my theory that not all acts must be out of self interest.…

    Evolution has received mostly negative feedback from society, especially from non-scientists. Perhaps, evolution is controversial because it speaks to the beginning of humanity. Controversy originated from individuals’ religious backgrounds and faith in a higher being but they do not consider the definition of evolution. Noted by David Jacobs—Professor of Animal Evolution and Systematics at the University of Cape Town, non-scientists believe evolution states that human evolved from baboons. However, evolution only claims that humans and other non-human primates share a common ancestor (Jacobs, 2015).…
