Which of the following is the branch of psychology that seeks to explain how evolution shaped modern human behaviour?

  • B.Comparative psychology
  • C.Behavioural neuroscience
  • D.Evolutionary psychology

Answer: D

Evolutionary psychology seeks to explain how evolution shaped modern human behaviour. Behaviour genetics studies the genetic basis of behaviour, comparative psychology studies different species, and behavioural neuroscience studies the brain and behaviour. Evolutionary psychology applies Darwin's natural selection to behaviour, asking how mental traits that helped our ancestors to survive and reproduce shaped present behaviour.
