Evolutionary psychology

there are large individual differences in aggression. How would an evolutionary psychology theory explain the sex differences and at the same time, the within sex-group variations in aggression? Post your response and comment on another student's post. Under the lens of evolutionary psychology we can see several factors that help explain the tendency of males to be more aggressive than females. One of the top mechanisms of evolution is survival. In this the presence of male aggression served…

This essay will investigate the evolutionary psychology theory and the Attachment theory and how they relate to other theories. I will discuss which theory is better in explaining attraction which includes strengths and weaknesses. The Attachment Theory is how one is attracted to another human being and how one builds relationships with different people (Chisholm, 1996). It is said that how one acts and builds attachments to another in adult life can solely relate on how one’s mother treated one…

The Lakatosian perspective The article starts off by providing a fantastic definition of what Evolutionary Psychology is: “… the application of the principles and knowledge of evolutionary biology to psychological theory and research” and posits that the, “central assumption” of Evolutionary Psychology is that, “the human brain is comprised of a large number of specialized mechanisms that were shaped by natural selection over vast periods of time to solve the recurrent information-processing…

List 8: 1. Evolutionary Psychology (p.43): This is a branch of psychology that focuses on how the behavior of people has evolved over time. It specifically focuses on the importance of natural selection or “survival of the fittest”. Our bodies have adapted over time in order to help us do certain behaviors that allow us to survive and reproduce. I found this concept interesting when it mentioned the physical characteristics of both genders today are related to the behaviors that our ancestors…

fields, but is of utmost importance in a species’ evolution (Dizikes). While a child traveling to a former time is simply a naive whim, modern science has made altering nature’s evolutionary means a glaring reality, which exhibits the same dangers…

“Men, Women, Sex, And Darwin” is an article about the way men and women differ in sexual conquest appose to how an animal might. How the psychology between them is different, which is proved in studies within evolutionary boundaries. The natural human responses to sex is different from each gender, which causes some complications between the understandings of each other. As she states that men are more polyamorous than women are. Men have the natural feel to sleep with multiple partners…

It is a process of development that is takes shape by overcoming adversity. The evolutionary capacity and pace of a race indicates how much change it can adjust to as well as how quickly it may do so. However, in every species, there are members that adapt with greater ease. In other words, we gravely underestimate the impact we have…

find evolutionary perspectives, which delve into topics, such as parental investment, survival, and sexual selection. There is also an opposition to these evolutionary ideas which suggest that evolution may not have to do much with our mating behavior, but is influenced but social norms and libidinous desires. This paper will try to look into these ideas and try to find a conclusive winner, or maybe we will find out that these theories all…

Several positions exist in philosophy regarding human nature. Karl Marx and Charles Darwin give two of these positions. Karl Marx’s philosophical position on human nature was that economic substructure and society determines human nature (Wall 279). He felt that humans are social animals that are driven to produce in a way that benefited society, and that human nature is “expressed in a drive to spontaneously and creatively produce products in a manner that is conducive to social and…

When it comes to the discussions of human nature, a controversial issue has been whether it is in our human nature to be good or evil and if it can be shaped or not. On the one hand, Mencius argues that it is in our nature to be good and that it can be shaped.

Others even argue that it is in our human nature to be evil, even when we mean to do good, that nature will never change.…
