Answer to Question 1

Answer: Students should briefly describe each and then describe how they progress from the most ultimate (evolutionary) to the most proximate (social cognitive).

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The major difference is that evolutionary theorists focus more on cultural universals, whereas cross-cultural researchers emphasize differences. They do this primarily because they look to different kinds of explanations for social behavior (universal versus culture-specific).
