Division of labour
- division came about cause women spent time pregnant/feeding men did nothing so made sense for them to hunt etc
- complementary division enhances reproductive succes and avoids starvation-adaptive advantage
- KUHN/STINER (2006)= homo sapiens lived cause of division- babies made peeps fed = good life, neanderthals did not survive and died cause both men and women hunted = babies died and possible starvation= no good life
Mate choice
- reproductive success is key in specie life
- mate choice ids also important, good mate= good family life/genes bad =death bad times
- Buss (1989) men look for attractive women look for well off etc
- males like young attractive because it means more fertile better offspring chance women like well off= provider…
