Some modern anthropologists hold that biological evolution has shaped not only human morphology but also human behavior.The role those anthropologists ascribe to evolution is not of dictating the details of 5 human behavior but one of imposing constraints— ways of feeling,thinking,and acting that ―come natu- rallyǁ in archetypal situations in any culture.Our ―frailtiesǁ –emotions and motives such as rage,fear,greed,gluttony,joy,lust,love—may be a very mixed 10 assortment,but they share at least one immediate quality:we are,as we say,―in the gripǁ of them.And thus they give us our sense of constraints.
Unhappily,some of those frailties—our need for ever-increasing security among them—are presently 15 maladaptive.Yet beneath the overlay of cultural detail,they,too,are said to be biological in direction,and therefore as natural to us as are our appendixes.
1.Which of the following most probably provides an appropriate analogy from human morphol- ogy for the ―detailsǁ versus ―constraintsǁ distinction made in the passage in relation to human behavior?(D) The psychological profile of those people
