1.  It will give you insights about dating and sexuality by looking at how we evolved.

2.  It gives a new lens or paradigm from which Psychology can be viewed.

3.  You’ll find out fully that we are not blank slates — but survival machines that evolved over millions of years.

4.  You’ll get an insightful explanation of “status seeking” behavior from an evolutionary perspective.

5.  You’ll get an insightful explanation of social behavior, including family behavior from an evolutionary perspective.
