According to Buss and other evolutionary psychologists, behavior patterns we see today are patterns that survived in our ancestors because they were more successful than other behaviors. They prevailed out of evolutionary necessity and therefore became hardwired into our genetic makeup. How do you see this theory playing out in your life? Apply this theory to behavioral patterns you see between different ethnicities, races, classes, and genders. For example, does prejudice exist out of some natural imperative? How could this theory inform the way you approach people of a different economic class? How would this theory explain your self-destructive tendencies, behaviors that don’t promote good health and survival, such as eating high-fat foods, drinking alcohol, smoking, and not getting enough sleep?
