What does the fundamental reproductive equation reveal
about culture and biology? - Answer--It reveals that culture
can free us from our biological constraints and make
equality possible
How does culture-biology interplay illustrate by constraint
learning? - Answer--We cannot learn everything, some are
limited by our biology.
Ex: Mice have "genetically coded hypothesis" that
automatically says "if I feel sick it must be something I
ate".
-They cannot learn that noise and lights causes an electric
shock since, noise and light aren't something that usually
occur in their environment.

-However, they do learn that a weird taste in water causes
them to feel nausea since they have experience these
sorts of affects throughout evolution.
What is the EEA? - Answer--Environment of Evolutionary
Adaptedness
-refers to the environment in which a given adaptation is
said to have evolved
Why is it important for us to be aware of the EEA? -
Answer--When we are different than EEA it causes
mismatch (being unsuitable)
-Natural selection leads to adaptation because it adapts us
to a particular environment
Why is the EES sometimes different from our current
environment? - Answer--CULTURE
-AGRICULTURE
-TECHNOLOGY
-CAPITALISM
-environment is changing really quickly
-evolution is slow and there is a lag time

Do other species have different EEA and current
environments? - Answer--Yes
-Domesticated animals have different environments than
their usual environment
-Ex: urban squirrels (like here at UCLA),
pets (dogs--they have free access to food all of the time),
zoo animals,
Sea World animals,
lab animals (individually housed & protected from all
possible pathogens & given food from humans)
Happiness, why is the rate and direction of change more
important than absolute levels? - Answer--Making
progress toward our goals makes us happy, absolute
levels have very little effect on our happiness.
-Once we reach our goal, our happiness does not last
long.
How does happiness relate to material acquisitions? -
Answer--Once we reach our goal, our happiness does not
last long.
