The evolutionary approach deals uses adaptation, natural selection, and reproduction as the reasoning for human behaviors. David Buss said that evolution is what molded our features the way they were and that evolution is what influences our decisions, fears, and patterns of mating.

The approach believes that as we get older, the idea of evolution is what enhances how we think and the things that we do.

A strength that falls from this approach is that the behaviors given from this approach are supposedly what is helping us survive. A limitation is that if you don’t have the ability to adapt, you won’t survive.
