Detailed explanation-1: -the process by which such forces as competition, disease, and climate tend to eliminate individuals who are less well adapted to a particular environment and favor the survival and reproduction of better adapted individuals, thereby changing the nature of the population over successive generations.
Detailed explanation-2: -evolutionary psychology, the study of behaviour, thought, and feeling as viewed through the lens of evolutionary biology. Evolutionary psychologists presume all human behaviours reflect the influence of physical and psychological predispositions that helped human ancestors survive and reproduce.
Detailed explanation-3: -Natural selection ensures that the brain is composed of many different special purpose programs and not a domain general architecture. Describing the evolved computational architecture of our brains “allows a systematic understanding of cultural and social phenomena” (16–18).
Detailed explanation-4: -It combines the science of psychology with the study of biology. Evolutionary psychologists seek to explain people’s emotions, thoughts, and responses based on Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution Through Natural Selection, similarly to how evolutionary biologists explain an organism’s physical features. 1
