What is one trait in humans that might be selected for in our modern day environment?
One example of recent natural selection in humans involves the ability to tolerate the sugar, lactose, in milk. In most parts of the world, adults are unable to drink milk because their body switches off the intestinal production of lactase, an enzyme that digests the sugar in the milk, after weaning.
What adaptive traits do humans have?
Our bipedalism (ability to walk on two feet), opposable thumbs (which can touch the fingers of the same hand), and complex brain (which controls everything we do) are three adaptations (special features that help us survive) that have allowed us to live in so many different climates and habitats.
What is an evolved trait?
In biology, evolution is the change in the inherited traits of a population from generation to generation. These traits are the expression of genes that are copied and passed on to offspring during reproduction. In contrast, genetic drift produces random changes in the frequency of traits in a population.
What are the example of traits?
Some examples of these types of character traits include:
- Religious.
- Honest.
- Loyal.
- Devoted.
- Loving.
- Kind.
- Sincere.
- Ambitious.
What are some of the most important traits for survival?
The ability to make decisions (especially good ones) is a key survival trait attribute. Rather than getting “stuck in the mud”, decisions keep things moving (hopefully forward). The ability to move on after a mistake or failure. We ALL make mistakes. Bad decisions. But you know what? Once it’s over, you can’t go back and change it.
What are the characteristics of early humans?
These include a large brain and body, long legs, reduced differences between the sexes, increased meat-eating, prolonged maturation periods, increased social cooperation and tool making. However, recent fossil evidence suggests these traits did not arise together as a single package.
Is having a strong will a basic human trait?
Yes it’s a basic and highly general trait. But it takes a strong will to survive when the going gets extremely tough. Some give up while others press on. It matters. Staying or regaining calm. Being calm enables critical and clear thinking.
