Evolutionary theory that explains organisms well adapted to their environment have higher likelihood of successfully reproducing and passing on their genes. Traits that confer advantages for survival and reproduction become more prevalent in a population over time. This process is the primary driving force behind the overall progression of evolution. Attraction is the Phenomenon believed to serve the purpose of promoting procreation and enhancing the survival of offspring.
Evolutionary arguments
Evolutionary psychologists argue that our behaviours are the result of natural selection – that means that the behaviors that most improve our chances of handing down our genes and producing healthy offspring have an evolutionary advantages
MHC
MHC alleles are responsible for our immune systems. They are inherited from both of our parents – and they are codominant. That means we end up with both immune systems
One evolutionary explanation of one behavior.
This suggests that natural selection may play a role in human mate selection. If the woman’s mate has a different MHC allele, then both his allele and her allele will be inherited and expressed by a child, thus increasing its immune system and chances of survival.
Evolutionary theory
The theory states that organisms that adapt the best to the ever changing environment have a greater chance of passing on their genes to the next generation, so organisms with specific gene traits that enhance survival are said to be naturally selected. According to this theory, the purpose of attraction is to procreate, pass on genes to the next generation. When it comes to attraction, natural selection would favor couples that have genes which mutually increase their offspring’s chances of survival.
