Question 4 and 5

QUESTION 4 If we are to study and understand evolved human sexual behavior and mating strategy we must know whether these things are very new and unusual or ancient and conserved Which of the following mast accurately and completely describes what we leamed from phylogenetic analysis of primate sexual behavior? O a Human sexual behavior is moderately recently evolved as evidenced by the fact that our mating strategy is strkingly dierent than that of monkeys, but similar to that of the other apes b. Human sexual behavior is relatively ancient as evidenced by the tact that our mating strategy is shared with a the other pri ates monkeys and apes OHuman sexual behavior is vary recenty evolved as evidenced by the fact that our mating strategy is strikingly diferent than that of our closest iving relatirve, chimps O d Human sexual behavior is profoundly ancient as evidenced by the fact that our mating strategy is shared with all the other mammals, from herbivores to primates QUESTION 5 We used diverse sources of evidence (anatomy, paychology, ethnography) to assess the evokved local culture-indapendent) features of human sexual behavior In view of what we learned. which of the folloning most accurately and O a Humans are naturally monogamous maters, occasionally coerced into promiscuily by the modern state tau Ob Hurnans are contingent maters, equally adapted to either monogamous or promiscuous mating systems Humans are naturally promiscuous maters, recenty coerced into monogamy by the modern state O d Humans have no "naturaf sexual behavior, our mating systems are enirely determined by locally idosyncratic culture

Explanation / Answer

Answer 4. The answer to this question is option B. As human sexual behavior is shared with that of other primates such as monkeys and apes. All the primates and humans have somewhat similar social-sexual behavior. Humans are more evolved than others and thus we engage in social-sexual behavior that is apart from the sexual behavior of other animals which is done solely for the purpose of procreation. Same can be seen in bonobos (). They are also similar in this context. Sex seems to cement Bonobo bonds like in humans. So yes human sexual behavior is relatively ancient as can be seen in the example of bonobos and chimpanzees.

Answer 5. The answer to this question is option D. As we all know that whether a person is monogamous or promiscuous depends on the society and the culture in which he/she is raised. Many humans are monogamous and have a single sexual partner throughout life and many are promiscuous having many sexual partners. So yes, humans have no natural sexual behavior it all depends on the other factors mentioned above.
