some limitations like ethical concerns and no adequate control to establish the frequency of contact between the twins or the assumption that the twins raised together experienced the same environment. Examine one evolutionary explanation of behavior. The environment presents challenges to each individual and those who adapt best will have a greater chance of surviving and passing on their genes. This is the principle of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. Evolutionary psychology is grounded on the principle that as genes mutate, those that are advantageous are passed down through natural selection. One example of evolutionary research is the study of emotions. Fessler has carried out research on disgust. He argues that the emotion of disgust allowed our ancestors to survive long enough to produce offspring, who in turn passed the same sensitivities to us. He investigated nausea experienced by women in their first trimester of pregnancy

It also tries to assess influences on the consumer from groups such as family, friends, reference groups and society in general (Sandhusen, 2000, p. 218, 219)
