The idea that genes bias the creation of certain environments, and certain environments select for certain genotypes is known as:
A) Cultural neuroscience
B) Gene-culture coevolution
C) The blank slate hypothesis
D) Dualism

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gene-culture coevolution refers to the mutual influence of genes and culture on each other's evolution. It suggests that genes can influence the cultural practices that shape a particular environment, and in turn, cultural practices can influence the selection of certain genotypes. Cultural neuroscience often studies the interactions of culture and genetics, but it is not the same as gene-culture coevolution. The blank slate hypothesis suggests that humans are born without innate abilities or predispositions, which is not supported by empirical evidence. Dualism is a philosophical belief that the mind and body are separate entities.
