1. Natural selection favors behaviors that enhance: a. survival and reproduction. b. body size. c. population size. 2. Behavioral traits are: a. less genetic than morphological traits. b. more canalized than morphological traits. c. less canalized than morphological traits. 3. Evolutionary psychologists argue specifically that human brains are designed to solve problems involving: a. living things. b. reciprocal altruism between people. c. science and technology. 4. Large brains may have initially evolved in monkeys and apes because they: a. are more folivorous than their ancestors. b. have greater dexterity in their hands than their ancestors. c. have larger social groups than their ancestors.

Question 12 The NEXT THREE questions all relate to the same background information: The sub-discipline psychology, called evolutionary psychology, assumes that many (or in some cases even all) common human behaviors are evolutionary adaptations (including criminal behaviors, different cheating patterns between sexes, altruism, helping others without expecting repayment, etc.). As an evolutionary biologist, you recommend a more cautious approach rather than expecting all human behaviors to be an adaptation (a result of natural selection) because: - Not all phenotypic (including behavioral) traits are heritable. - Not all phenotypic (including behavioral) traits affect the reproductive success of individuals. - Natural selection is not guaranteed under all conditions. - Learned behaviors (acquired by observing others during their lifetime) are not subject to evolution. - Behavior never has a heritable basis.
