- - - - Evolutionary psychologists- study of evolution of behavior and the mind using principles of natural selection
      - Natural selection- the best fit genes to keep blood lin going.
      - Mutations- random error in gene replication that leads to a change.
- - - - Frontal lobe- speaking and muscle movement, front of head, behind forehead.
      - Parietal lobe- top of head towards rear. receives sensory input, touch, body position.
      - Occipital lobe- back of head, info from visual fields.
      - Temporal lobe- just above the ear. auditory areas, receives info from the opposite ear
      - Motor cortex- rear of frontal lobe. voluntary movement.
      - Somatosensory cortex- front of the parietal lobe. registers and processes body touch and movement sensations.
- - - - our automatic response to stimulus. simple pathway, pain-reflex pathway. the brain will take too long to react.
        
        Endocrine system- a set of glands that secrete hormones into the bloodstream
