POST TWELVE: Using the first article explain what is evolutionary psychology and how does it apply to the field of ethics? Next, explain in depth the thesis of the second article and the support offered for it. Finally, offer your response to what you read.]
When I read the articles I found that evolutionary psychology is the study of human behavior based on the principle of natural selection. Natural selection is the theory that animals evolve because nature decides which traits are favorable for animals to survive with; this would be allowing animals to give off their genetic code with that trait.
Darwin was a proponent of evolutionary psychology and the father of the theory of natural selection. He believed that the main roots for human morality lied in social instinct, such as caring for the young. Darwin was the one who had the instinct to help humans and distinguish from friend or foe. This would be to define something as them or as humans were able to adapt and protect their young and keep their family alive. Darwin accepts the greatest-happiness principle as a standard of right and wrong.
