Topic 7.5
How do evolutionary psychologists view human personality traits?
They see them primarily as adaptations that have enabled survival and reproduction over generations.
They perceive traits as random mutations with no correlation to survival or reproductive success over time.
They view all human traits as equally beneficial for survival, disregarding any specific evolutionary advantages.
They view them as remnants of our primal ancestors' carnivorous tendencies only seen in aggressive behaviors today.
