need help? review these concept resources.

Explanation:

• Attachment theory focuses on emotional bonds between individuals, not Darwinian principles applied to behavior for genetic legacy.
• Ethology studies animal behavior in natural settings, not specifically extending Darwin's work to human unconscious drives for genetic perpetuation.
• Psychoanalytical theory centers on unconscious mental processes and childhood development, not evolutionary genetic survival drives.
• Evolutionary psychology applies Darwin's evolutionary principles (like natural selection, survival, and genetic legacy) to explain human behavior, including unconscious efforts to survive and pass on genes.

evolutionary psychology
