CULTURE: Culture is crucial for understanding human behavior. People acquire beliefs and values from the people around them, and you can’t explain human behavior without taking this reality into account.
Culture Is Essential by Peter J. Richerson and Robert Boyd, excerpted from Not By Genes Alone: How Culture Transformed Human Evolution

GENES: because our inherited genes affects on how we deal with other people..for example, being not sociable.. other people may misinterpret this behavior sir..
OWN OPINION

GENDER: for me sir..it has something to do with gender differences sir,,for example sir, other people may think sir na girls are not capable of doing what men (some) can do..

answer ko sir ha..bahala late..

ok 10 points!

so far, i learn that even if evolution is still a debatable topic, many of us have different points of view which we have to respect. we are different from each other, we are unique. this is in one way or another a time for us to trace back our ancestors and to give appreciation on what we are today. no hesitation and no buts....

How are we influenced by human nature?

In viewing human similarities and differences, 2 perspectives dominate current thinking: an evolutionary thinking, emphasizing human kinship, and a cutural perspective, emphasizing human diversity. Nearly everyone agrees that we need both: Our genes design an adaptive human brain - a hard drive that receives the culture's software.

Any comment? 5 points for this

of course we need both, to be human is to exist in the world and with existence comes experience. we adopt in order to survive and without innate adoption along with brain plasticity, one cannot survive.

yes sir, in different aspects. but in relation to social psych. i've learned and came to realize how powerful the influence of our peers to us and also their how their companion would mean to us. that we would want to do things that would please them and mimicking the things they do just to belong to the group.

So, just be careful of those people who might try to influence you for bad. They possess toxic personalities if they possess B.A.

Know what i mean?

Millora here Sir...heheh..

Good pm sir..

I would like to answer on why is brain important in evolutionary psychology.

It is important because evolution influences us how we make decisions.
Example, If you have to travel some distance from your home in an effort to find and say a fleeing animal, you need not only certain physical traits but also ability for certain types of spatial thinking.
Brain helps us to think in good ways in order to survive.

So, far what did you learn about yourself on this topic on evolution? 10, points!

I've learned a lot sir like, as what you've told us or me that God not only made us in a matter of seconds but it involves gradual process that took over million or even billion years for a single atom to evolve. And the result, the present day on Earth. . God really knows what he's doing and he's A MAN OF SCIENCE! hehe!

as what i'VE LEARNED in the topic evolution, is that we humans do evolve because of certain changes in time. Humans can adapt to our enviroment which ever what circumstances we are in.We are able to control ourselves in such problems and we can think logically. We are a rational being so it means that we are superior to any animals and we could adapt and survive in order to live.Humans are flexible that's why for so long humans still exist in the world.
