6. What is a problem to this evolutionary explanation?
It doesn't explain to what extent it benefits men
doesn't explain why males, when faced with same problem, act differently
It doesn't explain why women survive longer than men
Because it is not adaptive in any way, shape, or form
7. How does Buss & Schakelford's (1977) study support the evolutionary claim that mate retention strategies are only used when an adaptive problem is faced?
Men who thought their wives were unfailthful inflicted greated punishment in comparison to those who did not anticipate infidelity
Men who thought that their wives were unfaithful did not impose any more violence than those who did not think that their wife was unfaithful
No men know whether their wife is unfaithful or not, they use mate retention strategies to prevent it
