Adaptations Are: built of existing variation (mutations). often formed slowly often formed cumulatively specialized costly and: may be out of date The Environment of Evolutionary Adaptedness (EEA)

Cognitive adaptations: Not general-purpose fitness maximizer. Rules of thumb: Sex feels good, even with birth control Masturbation feels good Adoptive parents feel parental love Emotional systems as internal rewards.

Sexual reproduction continually generates variation around the optimum.

Sexual Selection Type of natural selection. Selection builds adaptations of all types. Sexual selection builds adaptations that increase mating success: 1. more mates 2. better mates

Selection builds adaptations that address recurring problems... faced by our ancestors. Would the challenges of mate choice have been the same for ancestral males and females? Theory of sexual selection says probably not. Male reproductive success is less limited than female reproductive success.

Challenges for ancestral males: quantity. Challenges for ancestral females: quality. Likely to produce divergent adaptations: Two optimal phenotypes
