Question

which of the following pairings can be most easily explained by evolutionary psychology? a young man marries a fertile woman who has two children by a previous partner. a young woman marries a successful middle - aged man. a young man marries a wealthy middle - aged widow. a young woman marries her high school sweetheart.

Explanation:

Evolutionary psychology suggests that men are attracted to women's fertility cues for reproductive success. A fertile woman with children indicates reproductive - viability. Women are attracted to men's ability to provide resources. A young man marrying a fertile woman with children can be seen as a reproductive - related choice from an evolutionary perspective. The other options may have more to do with social or personal factors rather than pure evolutionary ones.

Answer:

A young man marries a fertile woman who has two children by a previous partner.
