3. Some modern anthropologists hold that biological evolution has shaped not only
human morphology but also human behavior. The role those anthropologists ascribe to
evolution is not of dictating the details of human behavior but one of imposing
constraints - ways of feeling, thinking, and acting that ''come naturally'' in archetypal
situations in any culture. Our ''frailties'' - emotions and motivs such as rage, fear, greed,
gluttony, joy,lust, love-may be a very mixed assortment quality: we are, as we say, ''in the
grip'' of them. And thus they give us oursense of constraints. Unhappily, some of those
frailties our need for ever-increasing security among them are presently maladaptive. Yet
beneath the overlay of cultural detail, they, too, are said to be biological in direction, and
therefore as natural to us as are our appendixes. We would need to comprehend throughly
their adaptive origins in order to understand how badly they guide us now. And we might
then begin to resist their pressure. The author implies that control to any extent over the
''frailties'' that constrain our behavior is though to presuppose
