Answer to Question 1

Answer: Answers should include the material found in Figure 4-2 and emphasize the complexity of modern biological theories

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Answers should discuss the key focus of all biological theories. Key points should include:

• Early biological theories were simplistic, focused mainly on physical features and heredity, considered physical traits and inheritance


• Modern theories are more complex, more in-depth, examine a variety of influences on behavior, and suggest biological features are facilitators rather than determinants of behavior


• A major distinguishing feature is the degree of emphasis placed on the interplay between biology and the social and physical environments
