Describe some of the things that cognitive niche uses. Then describe what those particular things are.Cognitive Niche:- One is that intelligence is an adaptation to a knowledge-using, socially interdependent lifestyleCognitive niche uses:o Behavioral Flexibility- use of our unique mind we have cared out for ourselves a special niche in the environment.o Cognitive Mind- is the ecological role we have a result of the unprecedented flexibility with which we go about seeking to fulfill our goals. o Human mind- the information processing abilities of the human nervous system in it’s environments.o Information- the sense in which it is used in the physical, biological systems.

From replicating molecules… to populations of molecules in protocellsII. From asexual clones… to sexual populations III. From single-celled organisms… to multicellular organismsIV. From primate societies… to societies with language and culture. Changes over evolutionb. Increased cognitive capacityc. Larger BrainI. Absolute SizeII. Relative SizeIII. Early Birthing It takes additional nine months for humans to be able to do what other species babies do on the 1st day. (Ex. Walk)Lecture 3 (January 15)Describe some of the tactics used more by males to get females to like them. Describe some of the tactics used more by females to get males to like them.
