  8. Some Outcomes of Natural Selection • Variations in behavior and the process of natural selection produce partly innate adaptive behaviors that include… • Reflexes • Modal action patterns (MAP) • General behavior traits Learning and Behavior, 6th Edition by Paul Chance

  16. The Limits of Natural Selection • Through reflexes, MAPs, and general behavior traits, natural selection allows for widespread changes in species. • However, the power of natural selection is limited… Learning and Behavior, 6th Edition by Paul Chance

  17. What’s an Individual to do? • Learning is a form of evolved modifiability that allows for changes in behavior based on individual experiences. Learning and Behavior, 6th Edition by Paul Chance

  18. Nature Vs. Nurture Rears it’s Head Again… • Do people behave a certain way because they are born that way or because their experiences have taught them to behave as such? Learning and Behavior, 6th Edition by Paul Chance
