Key Definition!
• EEA (Environment of Evolutionary Adaptation)
• This is the environment to which a species is adapted and the set of selection pressures that operated at this time.
• Generally regarded as the time when our ancestors were hunter-gatherers on the African savannah.
![Page 13: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Nature of sexual selection – Gender Specific
• Characteristics to promote reproductive success
• Men – young healthy females• Women – resource investment• Female – more choosy (intersexual
competition)• Male – compete with each other
(intrasexual competition)
![Page 14: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Evaluation
• Buss (1989) study of 37 cultures. • Men – choose on fecundity• Women – choose on resource
potential• Scheib (1994) – sperm donor choice
study supported Buss’ findings
![Page 15: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Evaluation
• Bereczkei (1997) – females advertised for family-orientated men
• Female financial independence• Homosexual relationships – no
reproductive potential.• Dunbar (1995a) Homosexual adverts
also advertise resources – despite having no reproductive potential
![Page 16: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Nature of Sexual SelectionOrigins of Mate Preferences
• Preference for one mate over another
• Links to problem of appropriate mate choice in EEA
• Mating biased in favour of individuals with certain characteristics
• Genetic quality of mate determines genetic quality of offspring!
![Page 17: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Evaluation
• Human behaviour influenced by selective pressure in EEA is not universally accepted.
• Continuing evolution• Why so affected by one environment
and not another?
![Page 18: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Forms of sexual selection – Selection for Indicators
• Indicators reveal traits that can be passed on.
• Show information about mate survival• Tend to be condition dependent –
healthier = bigger – or revealing – make better use of indicators, e.g. better groomed
• Pre-programming
![Page 19: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Evaluation
• Indicators can be faked! E.g. female lips
• Handicaps only reliable indicator (Zahavi 1975)
• Facial symmetry.
![Page 20: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Forms of sexual selection Selection for sperm
competition• Sperm is stored• Size matters!• Male humans have medium-sized
testicles by primate standards.• Ancestral males mildly competitive –
females must have had multiple partners (Baker & Bellis 1995)
![Page 21: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Evaluation
• Humans are by nature more promiscuous than monogamous
• 9% misattributed fatherhood (Baker & Bellis)
• Majority of people do know who their father is
• Majority not adulterous
![Page 22: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Competition Activity
• Complete the human intra-sexual competition activity.

![Page 23: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Consequences of sexual selection
Physical Characteristics• Dimorphism (physical
differences between the sexes) is linked to female mate choice Martin et al. (1994)
• Size difference = polygynous mating system (one male, many females)
• More sexual competition between males.
![Page 24: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Consequences of sexual selection
Physical Characteristics• Facial Characteristics• Neotenous (child-like) more
attractive (Perrett et al 1994)• Strong testosterone linked features • Facial symmetry (Thornhill &
Gangstad 1993)
![Page 25: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Sexual selection & Human mental evolution

![Page 30: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Fisher’s Hypothesis
• What did we find out?
![Page 31: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Key Definition
• Parental Investment – any investment by a parent in one of his or her offspring that increases the chance that the offspring will survive at the expense of the parent’s ability to invest in any other offspring (alive or yet to be born) (Trivers 1972)
![Page 32: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Parental Investment Theory
• Trivers (1972)• Males and females do not invest
equally• Gametes
![Page 33: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Evaluation
• Plausible explanation (Buss 1998)• Men gain from polygyny. Females
from monogamy.• Polygyny common prior to Western
influence. (Smith 1984)• Reproduction rates are low among
wealthy people.• Contraception• Socially enforced monogamy
![Page 34: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Evaluation
• Females want male providers because of infant dependency
• Female want good quality offspring.• Mistaken paternity supports this.
![Page 36: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Cuckoldry
• Self-protection against cuckoldry• Considerable investment = need for
fidelity (Miller 1998)• Care not misdirected
![Page 37: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Sexual Jealousy
• Different adaptive problems for males and females
• Males – incorrect investment• Females – diversion of resources• Sexual jealousy a solution (Buss 1995)• Men – jealous of sexual act• Women – jealous of shift in emotional
focus
![Page 39: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

Evaluation
• Dunbar (1995b) Joint parental investment is desirable because of high cost of successful reproduction.
• Males restrict reproductive activity and invest more in each offspring.
• Greater male selectivity means female attractiveness is important compared to non-human animals.

Unipolar and Bipolar Disorder
• Unipolar
• Consists of depressive phase only
• Bipolar
• Consists of manic and depressive phases and shift between the two

Social Competition Hypothesis
• Price et al (1994)• Depression is an evolved response to
loss of status• An adaptive response to losing rank
and seeing self as a ‘loser’• Prevents risk of further injury• Preserves relative stability of social
group• Prevents further competition
![Page 72: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Evaluation of social competition hypothesis
• Difficult to test• Gilbert & Allan (1998) found feelings
of defeat were significantly correlated with depression
• Rank Theory (Price & Sioman 1987)• Yielding subroutine• Winning subroutine

The defection hypothesis
• Hagen (1999)• Post-natal depression an adaptive
response – led women to limit investment in the child as this would reduce overall reproductive success.
• Hagen (2002)• Can be generalised to all forms of
depression because it is a response to an event that has an evolutionary significant cost
![Page 75: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Evaluation of defection hypothesis
• Considerable empirical support• Lack of social support predicts this
(Gotlib et al. 1991)• Poor environment predicts this
(Warner et al. 1996)• Post-natal depression results in loss of
interest in child (Beck 1992)• Post-natal depression leads to
increased paternal investment (Hagen 2002)

Reproductive fitness
• Beneficial genes are passed on• Possession of bipolar genes an
advantage• Small doses v large doses – normal
distribution curve
![Page 84: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
Evaluation
• Based on assumptions – caused by multiple genes and the genes are linked to desirable behaviour
• Lack of genetic evidence – chromosome 22 (Kelsoe et al. 2001)
• Twin studies – high concordance (Nesse 1999)
• Number of genes involved• Expression of gene may be modified

EOBD Hypothesis
• Sherman (2001) ‘bipolar behaviours are adaptations to the selective pressures of long severe winters and short summers.’
![Page 87: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
Evidence for EOBD:
• Cold-adapted physique:
• Bipolar linked to thick compact physique
• Large trunk, small extremities• Improved clothing and shelter made
this adaptation unnecessary• (Kretschmer 1970)
![Page 88: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
Evidence for EOBD
• Hibernation:
• Bipolar evolved in response to environmental adversity
• Depressive phase resembles hibernating behaviour
• For example – overeating then lethargy and depression similar to animals gorging and then sleeping. (Sherman 2001)
![Page 89: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
Evidence for EOBD
• Adaptive significance in social groups• Inactivity in winter preserves
harmony and survival• High energy requirement• Mania link to challenge, survival and
emergencies • Aiello & Wheeler • (1995)
![Page 90: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
Evaluation of EOBD
• Previc (2002) Hypothesis is unproven• Makes intuitive sense• Tries to explain original development
not cause• Arbisi et al. (1994)• Neurophysical support – dopamine
fluctuates seasonally

Anxiety
• Anxiety can be defined as feelings of apprehensiveness or dread in response to threats that are real or imagined
![Page 100: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)

• Fight/Flight/Freeze
![Page 101: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/101.jpg)
The nature of anxiety
• General vs. Specific (Janzen 1981)
• General threat = general response
• Specific threat = Specific response
![Page 102: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/102.jpg)
Anxiety as protection
• Four responses: (Marks 1987)
• Escape or avoidance
• Aggressive defence• Freezing/
immobility• Submission or
Appeasement
![Page 103: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/103.jpg)
Types of anxiety disorder
• Phobias• OCD• PTSD
• You could be asked to explain two of these from an evolutionary perspective
![Page 104: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)
Subtypes
• Subtypes of anxiety have evolved to defend against threat.
• Fear – linked to survival but excessive fear can cause problems such as phobias and OCD
![Page 105: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)
Threat situations and fear response (Mark & Nesse 1994)
• Heights – Induce freezing so unlikely to fall, excess – fear of small heights e.g. stairs
• Public places – guards against danger away from home territory, excess – agoraphobia
• Post-traumatic fear – Avoidance of repeated trauma, excess – PTSD
• Social threats – minimize threat of group rejection, excess – dysmorphophobia & OCD
![Page 106: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)
Obsessive-Compulsive Behaviour
• Exaggeration of mechanisms that drive adaptive behaviour
• Grooming behaviour – reduces parasitism in mammals -> excess washing
• Concern for others – ensures group stability -> fear of harming others
• Hoarding – guards against shortages -> hoarding of all things
![Page 107: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/107.jpg)
Is anxiety adaptive?
• Without it you would die! (Tyrell & Baxter 1981)
• Adrenal gland removal = death• Pleasurable fear – films, roller-
coasters• Learning
• Why might anxiety be maladaptive?
![Page 108: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/108.jpg)
Are anxiety disorders inherited?
• Kendler et al. (2000) 3000 twin studies – common genetic factor in all phobias and unique genetic factor for specific ones.
• Nestadt et al. (2000) People with a first-degree relative with OCD 5x more likely to have OCD in their lives than those without.

Evolution of Anxiety Disorders
• Ancient fears• Snakes, heights, storms, darkness,
strangers, seperation• Phobias – exaggeration of these fears• Other stimuli eg, leaves no threat = no
phobia• Modern dangers eg cars rarely form
phobias because these have not been around long enough to have influenced adaptive selection.
![Page 117: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/117.jpg)
Pre-potency
• Evolved to respond to potential threat (little point in experiencing anxiety after a loss!)
• Ancestors able to respond to threats more likely to survive and more likely to pass on genes.
• Natural selection shaped nervous system to respond to cues
• E.g. noise and visual stimuli of a snake-like object may cause big anxiety response
• This is PRE-POTENCY – where something has power to direct experience.
![Page 118: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/118.jpg)
Evaluation ofPre-potency
• Ohman & Soars (1994)
• Masked pictures – bigger anxiety response than neutral pictures
![Page 119: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/119.jpg)
Evaluation ofPre-potency
• Bennet-Levy & Marteau (1984)• Form and texture different to human
= greatest fear.• 1 exception – slugs!
![Page 120: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/120.jpg)
Preparedness
• Learning rather than fixed response• Seligman (1970) – learn an
association between stimuli and fear, once learned, difficult to extinguish, passed on genetically.
• Fear in infants gauged by mother’s reaction. (Marks 1987)
![Page 121: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/121.jpg)
Evaluation
• Strangeness is the problem not the stimulus itself.
• Prepared to fear the strange – learn not to.
• Explains high rate of phobias in childhood and adolescence and reduction in adulthood.
![Page 122: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/122.jpg)
Evaluation
• We learn some fears readily and these are difficult to unlearn. McNally (1987)
• Expectancy bias – fear relevant stimulus (danger, unpleasantness) produces future responses. No need to invoke evolutionary history.
• Modern phobias unexplained (eg. Hypodermic needles)

Nausea and Alcohol
• Garcia & Koelling (1966) rats & saccharin
• Berstein (1978) Ice-cream & Chemotherapy
• Why do people persist in drinking alcohol when it makes them feel sick?

Intelligence is:
• Using big paper and pens mind map in pairs what you think intelligence is
• Include anything you think is associated with intelligence
• Be ready to share!
![Page 143: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/143.jpg)
Some key definitions:
• Intelligence – the ability to think flexibly
• Primates – includes lemurs, monkeys and apes
• Great apes – the most advanced group of primates including gorillas, chimpanzees and humans
• Hominids – early humans
![Page 144: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/144.jpg)
Why did intelligence evolve?
• Survival• Food• Shelter• Mating
![Page 145: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/145.jpg)
Foraging – Finding food
• Dunbar (1992)• Fruit-eaters had high cognitive demand• Needed to monitor food supply and
ripening patterns, develop harvesting plans and survive in the interim
• Leaf-eaters had lower cognitive demand as food more readily available
• Hominids were fruit eaters
![Page 146: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/146.jpg)
Foraging – tool use
• Mercader et al. (2002)• Chimps use stones as hammers to
crack open nuts• Most successful hunter-gatherers
also used tools• These tribes survived
![Page 147: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/147.jpg)
Evaluation of foraging
• Is tool use a cause or an effect of intelligence?
• Is tool use developed by trial and error learning?
• Visalberghi & Trinca (1987) – Monkeys used trial and error to find suitable tools and showed no understanding of why one worked and not another
• Byrne (1995) only chimps use tools in the wild
![Page 148: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/148.jpg)
Social Theories
• Machiavellian Intelligence (Whiten & Byrne (1998) – Human intelligence may be an adaptation to social problem solving. Individuals able to use others without causing aggression would be favoured. This deceit seems cooperative but is actually selfish
![Page 149: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/149.jpg)
Evaluation
• Dunbar (1992)• Strong positive correlation between
group size and neocortex ratio• Polygamous primates had a larger
neocortex ratio than monogamous ones – polygamy involves more complex social relations
![Page 150: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/150.jpg)
Machiavellian Intelligence
• Forming alliances• Harcourt (1992)• Power in social groups = right allies
not physical strength• Alliances formed based on ability to
provide useful future help
![Page 151: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/151.jpg)
Machiavellian Intelligence
• Manipulation & deception• Byrne (1995)• Manipulate others into providing
unwitting help• Ability to understand and plan
deception• Diversions of attention
![Page 152: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/152.jpg)
Evaluation
• Byrne & Whiten (1992)• Strong positive correlation between
amount of tactical deception and neocortex ratio
• Suggests a clear relationship between social manipulation and intelligence
![Page 153: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/153.jpg)
Evaluation
• Cosmides (1989)• Variations of the Wason card task• Particpants solved it 75% of the time
if it is a social context• Only solved 21% of the time with
unfamiliar context• Suggests a link between intelligence
and social problems
![Page 154: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/154.jpg)
D F 73If a card has a ‘D’ on one side it has a ‘3’ on the other side.

Meat-sharing Hypothesis
• For ancestors in the EEA meat was an important source of saturated fat
• Chimpanzees face similar problems today
• When they do manage to kill they eat the fattiest parts first not the lean tender flesh
![Page 157: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/157.jpg)
Meat - sharing
• Meat could be used to form alliances• Meat could be used to persuade females
to mate• Stanford (1992) observed:• Males withheld meat until after sex• Hunting more prevalent when females
were sexually receptive• Sexually receptive females had more
success when begging for meat• Requires individual recognition and scores
of debts, credits and relationships
![Page 158: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/158.jpg)
Evaluation
• Hill & Kaplan (1988)• Men in Paraguay give women meat
for sex• Gilby (2001) males share meat with
receptive and non-receptive females• Mitani and Watts (2001) males share
meat with other males to form alliances because hunting was more successful in groups
![Page 159: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/159.jpg)
Language
• Humans are the only species to develop this spontaneously.
• Other species show precursors – attributing intentions and beliefs to others (eg. Sally-Anne test)
• Chimpanzees and gorillas express thoughts and emotions through sign language and understand human communication
![Page 160: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/160.jpg)
Evaluation
• Human language is likely to be the outcome of rather than the cause of intelligence
• Once language evolved it had a significant effect on further intelligence development
• Cultural transmission is only possible through language
• Vygotsky – language transforms elementary mental functions (possessed by all animals) into higher mental functions

Brain Facts
• 2% of body mass – 20 % of metabolic rate
• Large brains would not have evolved unless they gave humans a significant advantage
• Important in cognitive development
![Page 170: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/170.jpg)

Brain Quantity
• Absolute brain size – Most intelligent species would be the ones with the biggest brains = sperm whale
• Big brain = big body• Need to control and maintain big
body needs a big brain
![Page 172: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/172.jpg)
Brain quantity
• Brain:body ratio• Jerison (1978)• Encephalization quotient (EQ)• Actual brain mass is divided by
expected species brain size• High EQ = High intelligence• Humans = 7 (highest), other
primates 2.34, Dolphins = 4.5
![Page 173: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/173.jpg)
Evaluation
• EQ not supported by research• Macphail (1982) rats and squirrels
had the same performance on a learning task but rat EQ = 0.40 squirrels EQ = 1.10
• Different species comparison is difficult.
• Different perceptual systems
![Page 174: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/174.jpg)
Brain Quality
• Holloway (1979)• Growth of the
neocortex is responsible for evolution of intelligence
• Mammals 6 layers of neocortex
• Cetaceans (whales, dolphins) 5 layers.
![Page 175: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/175.jpg)
Evaluation
• Cetacaens are highly intelligent• Herman (1986) – Dolphins can
understand human language and perform complex tasks beyond the ability of chimpanzees.
• Fewer neocortical layers but the same neural density and size of frontal lobes as humans
![Page 176: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/176.jpg)

Head size and IQ
• Sir Francis Galton (1888)• Studied Cambridge undergraduates• Insignificant relationship between head
size and intelligence• Wickett et al. (1994) repeated and found
significant relationship• Broman et al. (1987) Head perimeter at
birth predicted head perimeter at age 7 and head perimeter at both ages predicted IQ
![Page 178: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/178.jpg)
MRI measures
• A recent development which allows accurate measurement of brain size
• Andreasen et al. (1993) found significant relationship
• Tan et al. (1999) used male and female Turkish students and found a significant relationship.
![Page 179: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/179.jpg)
Evaluation
• Other meaningless correlations also found, eg. Amount of cerebrospinal fluid and IQ (Egan et al. 1994)
• Other causal factors of big brains! • Diet• Some aspects of intelligence not measure by
IQ tests so may be normal in terms of IQ. E.g. expertise is critical to survival and requires brain capacity but not measured by IQ tests
• No simple relationship between brain size and IQ
![Page 180: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/180.jpg)

Cortical Neurones
• Haug et al. (1987)• Correlation
between brain size and number of cortical neurones
nerve impulses
axon
cell bodydendritesmuscles fibres
motor end plates
![Page 182: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/182.jpg)
Evaluation
• Relationship between neurones and brain size is supported by animals reared in enriched environments have more neurones
• Diamond (1991) – rats reared in enriched environments had larger brains and more neural connections.
• Brain development relies on experience
![Page 183: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/183.jpg)
Grey matter
• Size of the regions of the brain associated with intelligence is under tight genetic control
• Thompson et al. (2001) MRI twin study
• Volume of grey matter is highly heritable and an important determinant of IQ
![Page 184: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/184.jpg)
Evaluation
• Development of grey matter is affected by genes and environment
• Young adults have more grey matter than middle-aged people – likely to be due to improved diet (Storfer 2001)
![Page 185: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/185.jpg)
Sex differences
• Ankey (1992)• Brains of men larger than brains of
women in both European-American and African-American cultures
• Supported by similar studies by Rushton (1992) & Pakkenberg & Gundersen (1997)
![Page 186: Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour Objectives Assess prior knowledge Define Evolution Define Evolutionary Psychology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e4d5503460f94b43fee/html5/thumbnails/186.jpg)
Evaluation
• Size differences are accurate• Research cannot account for men
and women obtaining the same IQ scores (Peters 1993)
• Ankey (1992) different intellectual abilities
• Female brains may be better organised (Johnson 1996) as women have larger corpus callosum.
