Nevertheless, I found that this sort of cherry-picking of evolutionary tenets is very common, even from students who identify as "not very religious".
Although there has been a gradual shift, where some feminists have begun to apply evolution to key developmental and family-oriented issues (see Hrdy 1981; Lancaster 1991), the inclusion of evolutionary tenets is still far from being mainstream among feminists.
In addition, as students with an incorrect or limited understanding gained greater competency with the theory of evolution (defined as being able to correctly comprehend major evolutionary tenets) they also became more accepting of it (see Fig. 1a, c).
Given that the degree of substrate specificity exhibited by an RS is functionally coupled to the accuracy of protein translation, the RS is restrained by tremendous selective pressure; therefore, integration of structural approaches with directed evolution of RSs can expand upon our understanding of the evolutionary tenets governing substrate specificity and selection.
Our aims were to determine levels of genetic differentiation and the degree of hybridisation between forms occurring in sympatry, and to relate these with both evolutionary and epidemiological tenets of this biological group.
It is a tenet of evolutionary theory that evolution does not repeat itself.
After all, more women meant more opportunities to pass on genes through reproduction — a basic tenet of evolutionary thought.
Additionally, it is theorized that, though evolution in human beings is controversial among non-scientists, assertions of the evolution of the human mind is, according to Hagard and Findlay (2010), a possibly more contentious issue to accept and a key tenet of evolutionary psychology.
A central tenet of evolutionary signaling theory posits that a communication system where information is conveyed via ornaments is susceptible to cheaters' invasion unless a significant and quality-differential production and/or maintenance cost of the signal exists [7].
