    The evolutionary approach suggests that our behaviour is determined through natural selection; therefore it is coded into our genes through how we have adapted. It is a biological approach and states nature over nurture. A criticism of this approach is that it is determinist as it suggests that the way we behave is dictated through natural selection‚ for example in gender roles men being strong hunters and wanting a younger female partner. It ignores other suggestions‚ such as how we are brought

They generally fail to look at whether these constraints can be overcome in our future evolution. To date‚ evolutionary psychology has not satisfactorily addressed a key question: are we beings forever constrained
