ReplyDeletethere are factors that may affect our behaviors these are DNA , genes and heredity.
the biological approach believes that most behavior is inherited and has an adaptive or evolutionary function. for example in the weeks immediately after the birth of a child, levels of testosterone in fathers drop by more than 30 percent . this has an evolutionary function. testosterone-deprived men are less likely to wander off in search of new mates to inseminate. they are also less aggressive , which is useful when there is a baby around.
