Evolutionary history of life

components of intimate partners (Miller, 2006), there is no certain, overall principle that can comprehensively explain what women and men want in a mate. Some researchers have speculated possible explanations by emphasizing the reproductive success in evolutionary psychology (Buss, 1994), while others rely on biological cues, such as hormones, facial expressions and body shape to discern…

most if not all rules. This being one of them, the one of them is one of the most infamous men in history and he is of course Adolf Hitler. He had a relatively good life as a child and young adult, he didn’t suffer much, I mean there were no beatings, or constant abuse or money troubles and I guess you can say he suffered during ww1 but so did many other people. He had no horrible experiences in life which made him evil, he was predisposed to evil, to sociopathy, to cruelty, to commit genocide.…

The global society has always had a traditional and oriental way of life in which gender roles and schemas have existed, transformed, and evolved. Throughout history, the controversies over such matter have subsided, but nevertheless, they still continue to exist today and integrate into components of everyday life that impact individuals of all backgrounds. Not only that, but it influence other aspects of everyday life, impacting global processes such as the job market, social standpoints, and…

In chapter five, the emergence of culture, the authors ask the question of why natural selection allowed the brain to evolve in a way where culture became more likely among humans’ hominid ancestors? While the development of culture had allowed the organization of hominoid to increase in complexity, it was faced with many obstacles. The authors argue that the development of culture is anchored in the development of spoken language. As a result, the development of culture couldn’t occur without…

On the surface, social dominance theory paints a bleak picture of the nature of human social behavior. It takes as a given that inequality necessarily arises from society’s tendency to categorize people into their social groups and perpetuate hierarchies on which the power relations between these groups are founded. While other theories would explain intergroup biases and discriminatory behavior as a consequence of subjective misattribution, resource competition, or ingroup positive…

determinant genetic diversity is also essential for resolving the long-standing riddle in population genetics, the disproportionately narrow range of the genetic diversity compared with the large magnitude difference of population size across tree of life, known as Lewontin’s Paradox (Lewontin, 1974). Genetics polymorphism varies across genome and thought to be as the result of balance…

on other scientific researchers and their studies for years. Anyone who is interested in natural sciences would know how intriguing biological change and adaption is. Yet, Charles Darwin was not just interested; he was dedicated. He spent his entire life embarking on surveys around the globe in order to back up his research with proficient evidence. A naturalist from birth, Darwin was born in Shrewsbury,…

Cognitive development is emergence of the ability to think and understand, and as time progressed we as humans began to reason and understand why there is an emergence of the ability to think and understand at a higher order within our civilizations history. From what began as Jean Piagets understanding of the operational stages of cognitive development. With an emergence of this and a new field of study, neuroscience, there was an overlap between cognitive development and how the psychology of…

Human evolution is the time by which humans change overtime. Humans develop characteristics and traits that enhance their abilities and chances for survival. Physical and behavior traits have been shown to have some relations with the common ancestors of apes. While human evolution occurs it coexists with the study of population genetics. Population genetics occurs when frequencies in alleles between populations are distributed. Plenty of researchers have used these two ideas to study how…

staggering the minds of the intelligent and the simple minded alike for quite a long time. The theme of creation versus evolution has turned out to be progressively disputable. Evolution is an adjustment in the hereditary material of a populace of life forms starting with one generation then onto the next. Evolution is a term that numerous individuals have had major thoughts upon and has been a substantial subject in our general public. Initially numerous individuals consider advancement as the…
