Why nature keeps optimizing the behavioural traits of its creatures

How can we understand human variation as adaptation to the physical, biological and cultural environment?

What does the novel Brave New World suggest is necessary in human life for people to “live significantly”?

Behavioral complexity in animals is controlled by a variety of potential sources or types of design information. Of these various sources which is most directly responsible for the difference in behavioral sophistication between contemporary humans and non-humans animals?

Tool making and use is a trait shared only be a few primate species on Earth. This ability is a result of a collection of structures (opposable thumbs, large brain) that allow for this function. Tool making and use would be an example of a(n) Emergent Property Structure Defining Function O Adaptation O Individual Characteristic

Activity: Factors involved in Natural Selection / Interpreting X-Y graphs The boldness of bass A recent study of largemouth bass, a type of freshwater fish, showed that individual fish have distinct personality types. The researchers looked at a fish's willingness to explore a new environment, which they called boldness. A more bold fish is one that will readily explore when placed in a new setting. Their study considers if boldness may be an adaptive trait, that is, subject to natural selection. The researchers therefore looked at the correlation between parent and offspring boldness scores, as shown in the figure. A. What pattern is illustrated by this figure? What factor(s) necessary for natural selection are shown in this graph? The association between the boldness scores OF Parents & Children is depicted in the image. Offspring boldness score I+ demonstrates the heredity Of audacity, an element required For natural selection 0.5- 0.0- -0.5- -1.0- 0.5 1.0 Parent boldness score…
