Some modern anthropologists hold that biological evolution has shaped not only human morphology but also human behavior. The role those anthropologists Line ascribe to evolution is not of dictating the details of human behavior but one of imposing constraints— ways of feeling, thinking, and acting that ―come natural-
ly‖ in archetypal situations in any culture. Our―frailties‖ -emotions and motives such as rage, fear, greed, gluttony, joy, lust, love—may be a very mixed assortment, but they share at least one immediate quality: we are, as we say, ―in the grip‖ of them. And thus they give us our sense of constraints.
Unhappily, some of those frailties—our need forever-increasing security among them—are presently 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.We would need to comprehend thoroughly their adaptive origins in order to understand how badly they guide us now. And we might then begin to resist their
pressure. (174 words)
