Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The discovery that cooperation triggers pleasure centers in the brain suggests that there is a neural tendency to cooperate and share, which would have conferred a survival advantage on our ancestors. This supports the theory of evolution and suggests that cooperation has a biological basis. Therefore, option E is the best choice. Option A is incorrect because the passage does not mention anything about studying fossilized human behavior. Option B is also incorrect because the passage suggests the opposite - that cooperation has a biological basis. Option C is not mentioned in the passage. Option D is incorrect because the passage suggests that the experiment's design can yield valuable insights into human evolution.
