Question

Name 1. Choose a trait from Donald Brown's (1989/1991) "List of Human Universals." I 2. How might this trait have helped humans solve an adaptive (survival or reproductive) problem regularly encountered in ancestral environments? (Identify an adaptive problem and how this trait would have helped to solve that specific problem. Do you think this trait is more likely to be an adaptation, a by-product of an adaptation, or random noise - why?) 3. Describe how this trait could have evolved through the process of natural or sexual selection. (You should reference the "three steps" in this process and specify whether you think this trait would have evolved through natural or sexual selection.) 4. Do you think this trait would be similarly "adaptive" (or beneficial) in modern environments? Why or why not?
