From scorpion to spider
Spiders are among the most feared animals worldwide, with arachnophobia being one of the most common phobias. Biological preparedness theory proposes that such fear may reflect evolutionary adaptations to ancestral threats. Yet, the high prevalence of spider fear is puzzling, as spiders have posed minimal danger to humans compared to several other animals. One hypothesis is that fear of spiders reflects a generalization from fear of scorpions, gi…
Kin investment biases of aunts and uncles
Higher investment in maternal than paternal aunts and uncles is explained by the "paternity uncertainty hypothesis". Regardless of laterality, however, aunts show a greater degree of investment than uncles, which is attributed to sex-specific reproductive strategies. Resemblance cues can be used as indicators of genetic relatedness. The central hypothesis of the current study was that perceived phenotypic resemblance between aunts/uncles and nibl…
