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

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
