Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Steven Pinker is the evolutionary psychologist who has emphasized the universality of human traits. He argues that these traits have a common logic across cultures and are rooted in our genetic and evolutionary history. Therefore, the best choice is B. Charles Darwin is the father of evolutionary theory but did not focus specifically on evolutionary psychology. Nancy Segal is a psychologist who has studied twins and genetics, but her work is not related to the universality of human traits. James Alan is a hypothetical psychologist and not a real person.
