Evolution as an Explanation of Behaviour

• What is the role of evolution in human behavior?

  It explains changes in behavior over time
• How does evolution occur according to the study material?

  Through small changes in populations over time
• What is natural selection's role in evolution?

  It favors traits that enhance survival and reproduction
• Why are males more likely to survive and reproduce according to the material?

  They possess desirable traits that attract females
• What do males aim to find according to the study material?

  A mate to reproduce with
• Why do males produce many sperm?

  To increase chances of successful reproduction
• How do females differ in reproductive strategies compared to males?

  They produce fewer eggs and invest more care
• What is the significance of male competition in evolution?

  It influences the traits that are passed down
• What do Fisher's hypotheses state about female preferences?

  Females prefer males with survival advantages
• How does the study material describe the relationship between male traits and female attraction?

  Desirable traits increase male attractiveness to females
• What is the implication of males having higher reproductive costs?

  They may prioritize quality over quantity in mates
• How do social structures affect male competition?

  They can enhance or limit access to mates
• What is a key factor in male reproductive success?

  Access to females
• Why is the presence of females critical in evolutionary terms?

  Females are essential for reproduction and offspring care
• What does the study suggest about the evolutionary advantages of aggression?

  Aggression can lead to better access to mates
• How do evolutionary strategies relate to social hierarchies?

  Higher status can lead to better mating opportunities
• What is the significance of temporal validity in evolutionary studies?

  It ensures data is relevant and accurate
• Why is it important to consider the costs of behavior in evolution?

  Costs can influence survival and reproductive success
• How do males and females differ in their evolutionary strategies?

  Males focus on quantity, females on quality
• What role does competition play in the evolution of species?

  It drives the development of advantageous traits
• What is the relationship between aggression and reproductive success?

  Aggression can enhance reproductive opportunities
• How does the study material describe the importance of female choice?

  It shapes male traits and behaviors over time
