Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The evolutionary perspective posits that ethnocentrism, or a preference for one's own group, is a human universal that evolved as a way to promote the survival and success of one's own group. This perspective does not focus on individual differences in prejudice, but rather sees it as a common aspect of human behavior across cultures and time periods.
