Answer to Question 1

Leak and Christopher suggest that the ego (consciousness) is the behavioral management system for which the id and superego provide motivation. There are two types of motivation: Selfish and group-relevant; both have had adaptive value for the species. The id reflects adaptation to the nonsocial environment, where competition for resources is intense and individualistic; the superego represents tendencies that evolved in response to selection pressures that developed when our ancestors took up group living.

Answer to Question 2
