Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Evolution consists of both non-adaptive and adaptive forces. Non-adaptive forces are primarily random, including mutation, genetic drift, and recombination. Adaptive forces depend on the relative or absolute fitness of individuals within a population, such as natural selection.

Detailed explanation-2: -Clinical neuroscience explores how to treat and prevent neurological disorders and how to rehabilitate patients whose nervous system has been injured. Neurophysiology describes the study of the nervous system itself and how it functions.

Detailed explanation-3: -What advantages to nonhuman animals have over humans as subjects in biopsychological research? 1. The brains and behaviour of nonhuman subjects are simpler than those of human subjects. Hence, the study of nonhuman species is more likely to reveal fundamental brain-behaviour interactions.

Detailed explanation-4: -Humans have several advantages over other animals as experimental subjects of biopsychological research: They can follow instructions, they can report their subjective experiences, and their cages are easier to clean.
