Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sociobiologists suggest that human behavior is influenced by the desire to maximize the transmission of their genes and those of their relatives. This is because the survival and reproduction of genes are the fundamental goals of evolution. Individuals who behave in ways that increase the chances of surviving and producing offspring will be more likely to transmit their genes to future generations. Therefore, maximizing the propagation of their genes and those of their relatives is the best choice.
