Document Summary
In socio-biological terms it must be explained in terms of reproduction. Three main areas of evidence: humans as primates, human evolution fossil evidence, human as a species cross cultural evidence. Female sexuality no longer tied to their reproduction b/c of sexual gratification/pleasure and contraception used to prevent pregnancy. An approach that seeks to unify rather than divide the nature of human scientific understanding. An attempt to integrate all fields of science in the explanation of a phenomenon. Mate choice sexual arousal competition for mates sexual preferences. Both based on evolutionary theory all explain modern human sexual behaviour. Evolutionary psychology believes that evolution began in the paleolithic, in the genus. Co-evolutionists are willing to see culture as an evolutionary process in its own right: human behavior is a complex product of genetic and cultural forces, gene-culture leash (gct) theories. Reproductive advantage: this is determined by reproductive success.
