Phylogenetic perspective

Dictionary of Parental Acceptance-Rejection Theory

Asserts that the contemporary behavior and behavior-potential of the species Homo sapiens is a function in an as yet unspecified way of interactions over the millennia between humankind's biological state and experience. The phylogenetic perspective is often symbolized by the quasi-mathematical formula B_h= f(BxE), where B_h_{is the behavior potential of humans, f is "a function of," B is biological state, and E is experience. The product symbol (x) conveys the idea of an interaction between elements within the parentheses. In effect, this perspective recognizes an almost inextricable interaction between nature and nurture.}
