Line The principle of use and disuse states that those parts of organisms' bodies that are used grown larger Those parts
that are not tend to wither away It is an observed fact that when you excercise particular muscles, they grow Those
that are never used dimish By examming a man's body, we can tell which muscles he uses and which he doesn't we may even be able to guess his profession or his reaction Enthusiasts of the "body- building"
5 cult make use of the principle of use and disuse to "build" their bodies, almost like a piece of sculpture, into whatever unnatural shape is demanded by fashion in this peculiar minority culture Muscles are not the only parts of the body that respond to use in this kind of way Walk barefoot and you acquire harder skin on your soles It is easy
to tell a farmer from a bank teller by looking at their hands alone The farmer's hands are horny, hardened
10 by long exposure to rough work The teller's hands are relatively soft.
The principle of use and disuse enables animals to become better at the job of surviving in their world, progressively better during their lifetime as a result of living in that world Humans, through direct exposure to sunlight, or lack of
it, develop a skin color which equips them better to survive in the particular local conditions
15 Too much sunlight is dangerous Enthusiastic sunbathers with very fair skins are susceptible to skin cancer Too
little sunlight, on the other hand, leads to vitamin-D deficiency and rickets The brown pigment melanin which is synthesized under the influence of sunlight, makes a screen to protect the underlying tissues from the harmful effects of further sunlight If a suntanned person moves to a less sunny climate, the melanin disappears, and the body is able to benefit from what little sun there is This can be represented as an instance of the principle of use
20 and disuse: skin goes brown when it is "used", and fades to white when it is not.

Line A small but growing group of scholar, evolutionary, psychologists, are being to sketch the contours of the human
mind as designed by natural selection Some of them even anticipate the coming of a field called "mismatch theory", which would study maladies resulting from contrasts between the modern environment and the "ancestral
environment" The one we were designed for.
5 There is no shortage of such maladies to study, Rates of depression have been doubling in some industrial countries
roughly every 10 years Suicide is the third most common cause of death among young adults, after car wrecks and homicides
Evolutionary psychology is a long way from explaining all this with precision, but it is already shedding enough 10
light to challenges some conventional wisdom It suggests, for example, that the nostalgia for the nuclear family
of the 1950s is in some way misguided - that the model family of husband at work and wife at home is hardly a
"natural" and healthful living arrangement, especially for the wives Moreover, the bygone lifestyles that do look fairly natural in light of evolutionay psychology appear to have been eroded largely by commercialism Perhaps the biggest surprise from evolutionary psychology it its depiction of the "animal" in us Freud, and
15 various thinkers since, saw "civilization" as an oppressive force that thwarts basic animal instincts and urges and
transmutes them into psychophathology However, evolutionary psychology suggests that a larger threat to metal health may be the way civilization thwarts civility There is a gentler, kinder side of human nature, and it seems increasingly to be a victim of repression in modern society

A How evolutionary psychology manages modern society
