The video on evolutionary psychology and sexual attitudes was very true. I do think what people are looking for in a partner are changing as time goes on and I feel that when I'm looking for a long time partner I will be more interested in the new trend that women are looking for now-a-days. In the other video I learned what subversion of kin was and how its a part of religion in many ways and a part of my life through religion and many other aspects.
In chapter 4 I learned that fraternal twins don't share any more common DNA than do any other siblings. That seems so weird to me you'd think being twins they would have extremely similar DNA especially because a lot of the time they look so much a like more than you would expect regular siblings to. I mean I know a few sets of fraternal twins that look so much a like.
I also thought it was very interesting that if one of the identical twins is divorced the likely hood of the other twin getting divorced is very high. I didn't realize there was a connection between your genetics and divorce. I still think that it sounds a little odd that your genes play that much of a role. I don't know any twins that have gotten a divorce but that makes me wonder about other people who have gotten divorces. Is it because of their genes? Neither set of parents have been divorced so why are their kids genetically prone to? It just makes me question a lot of things now.
A third thing I learned was that people who grow up together, whether biologically related or not, do not act much like each other when it comes to their personalities. I guess if I really thought about it though its true when it comes just to their personalities. I know a lot of siblings who have the same parents and the same environment who have totally different personalities, my sister and I are some of them. When it comes to other aspects though, people who grow up together, whether biologically related or not, should be similar in many other ways. It shouldn't matter whether they grew up with their biological families or not more than likely all of the ways they interpret things will be similar. It's their nurture.

I watched that same video and I think that what a women looks for changes and that we have broke through the stereotype and we can now provide on our own. No more homemakers! I think its so weird that fraternal twins are nothing but siblings that exactly alike!
