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

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
