An Evolutionary Approach to Human Behavior

Question

An evolutionary approach to human behavior
A) implies that differences in behavior among humans are the product of genetic differences between individuals.
B) does not imply that differences in behavior among humans are the product of genetic differences between individuals.
C) is possible only because humans have a fossil record.
D) could not be done prior to the discovery of genetics and DNA.

Accepted Answer

An evolutionary approach to human behavior acknowledges that there are both genetic and environmental influences on behavior, and does not assume that all differences in behavior among humans are solely due to genetic factors. Additionally, the study of evolutionary psychology relies on observational data and theoretical models, rather than requiring a fossil record or knowledge of specific genetic markers.
