4. the last paragraph of the article states that we. human, are capable of having a concious-directed life. however, to have such life it is essential to understand how we are immoral and nature-directed animals.
5. this article was very interesting in a way that people's "fooling" around can scientifically explained. however it was a bit awkard to think that our unconscious actions have its basis on such 'animal-like' nature of us. in the article it said bigger body size of male is one of the evidence of the polygyny of human. as i read the article a question arouse; these days however, men's average body size are getting larger then does that mean that men are tilting more towards polygyny than we already are? but average size of women is growing as well, then is it a change toward monogamy or is it just due to the better neutritional condition we have?
