Natural Selection and Adaptive Behavior
- Natural Selection: is the evolutionary process by which these individuals of a species that are best adapted are the ones that survive and reproduce.
- Darwin proposed that natural selection fuels evolution. In evolutionary theory, adaptive behavior is behavior that promotes the organisms survival in a habitat.
Evolutionary Psychology:
Evloutionary psychology holds that adaptation, reproduction, and "survival of the fittest" are important in shaping behavior. Ideas proposed by evolutionary developmental psychology include the view that an exteneded childhood period is needed to develop a large brain and learn the complexity of human social communities.
