Yawning: An Evolutionary Perspective
Evolutionary analyses of human behavior have illuminated a number of fundamental questions (i.e., foraging, mating systems, communication, etc.), and a wide array of behaviors have been targeted for investigation (infanticide, polygyny, child abuse, homicide, etc.). In general, investigation has centered on complex behaviors organized into broader functional units based on their context, or in ...
متن کاملPrions: an evolutionary perspective.
Studies in both prion-due diseases in mammals and some non-Mendelian hereditary processes in yeasts have demonstrated that certain proteins are able to transmit structural information and self-replication. This induces the corresponding conformational changes in other proteins with identical or similar sequences. This ability of proteins may have been very useful during prebiotic chemical evolu...
متن کاملPostpartum Depression: An Evolutionary Perspective
There is no common consensus among theorists regarding the nature and purpose of postpartum depression. Evolutionary theorists have proposed that the onset of postpartum depression is an adaptive function that signals a potential fitness cost to the mother i. e. the investment in the child will be cost more than the evolutionary benefits to be gained from rearing this child Many studies have sh...
متن کاملAn Evolutionary Perspective on Morality
Moralbehaviorandconcern forothersare sometimesargued tosethumansapart fromother species. However, there is some evidence that humans are not the only animal species to possess these characteristics.Work frombehavioral biology andneurosciencehas indicated that some of these traits are present in other species, including other primates. Studying these behaviors in other species can inform us abou...
متن کاملEmerging infections: an evolutionary perspective.
Our relationship to infectious pathogens is part of an evolutionary drama (1). Here we are; here are the bugs. They are looking for food; we are their meat. How do we compete? They reproduce so quickly, and there are so many of them. They tolerate vast fluctuations of population size as part of their natural history; a fluctuation of 1% in our population size is a major catastrophe. Microbes ha...
