Question

According to the evolutionary perspective, which of the following statements accurately reflects the role of gender differences?a)Gender differences have little bearing on the survival of the species.b)Males with more nurturing characteristics attract females with competitive traits.c)Females with nurturing characteristics are valued for their tendency to help children survive.d)Forceful and competitive females attract males who can provide them with sturdy offspring.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

Nature, it was thought, demanded less from women since, being their only activity procreation and upbringing, their role was purely physical. They barely fought, their provision of food to the group was secondary, they did not have to solve new situations or face risks, challenges, etc. Reproduction and care of the offspring only required passive and domestic maternal qualities. Based on these reasoning, it was argued that the value of a woman lay in her reproductive organs. And, since neither the development of a creature in the womb, nor the delivery or the production of milk depended on the feminine capacity to think, they did not require that their brain and minds evolved at a rate equal to that of boys.

It should be noted that this thought is extremely macho.

Answer 2

Answer:

Females with nurturing characteristics are valued for their tendency to help children survive.

Explanation:

The primary aim of nature during evolution was to increase the number of offspring . It created gender difference to achieve that objective . It created males with more aggressive features so that they can fight other males to gain access to better bred females, a symbol of higher  fertility   . Females prefer a partner who are mighty and who can give her protection due to their demands of pregnancy and breastfeeding.
