Document Summary

We can document it happening in several places. Natural selection has shaped the evolution of human anatomy and physiology. When it comes to our behavior this is where the controversary begins. Some argue that natural selection doesn"t affect behavior. Many things we do are obviously being shaped by aspects of the environment, cultural factors, where/how we grew up etc . The importance of this accompanied by biological. Genetics, the environment of human behavior traits/factors. Both genes, biology, and the environment (social, cultural factors affect and interact and lead to what we do as humans) Sort of consider genes to be the recipe/blueprint. If you put these blueprints/recipes in different environments and hands then you will have completely different outcomes. Furthermore we can study animals t study disease. Animals provide biomedical models to study human disease. We share features with the animal world.
