Blog#3- Research Idea
     During the last 50 years there has been a lot new research about evolutionary psychology and many new things that people unacknowledged has been found. Such as that people are psychological determinate to fall in love with certain type of people depending of their memories as growing up. For example, men usually look for women with characteristics that his mother had or the mother figure that may had, just like women would fall for someone who had the qualities of the father figure that she got at home; this behavior is done unconsciously, on both cases. This kind of ideas have been discover recently in the 20th century, that’s why it is so important for humans, because it explains a lot of things of the human behavior.
     Before evolutionary psychology there was the idea of two existential groups, the good and the evil. Now is has become common knowledge that the brain has different functions and that these functions do affect people’s everyday life, therefore there is no such thing as bad or good people, its more complex than that. If people behave certain ways it’s because they had some trauma in their lives, this is known because psychology explain it to us that. Evolutionary psychology has lead into the development of other subcategories that explore the complex structure of the brain. 
      One of the many things tha psychology has help us to clear out is the complicated  situation of knowing why do we are attracted to certin type of people. This is the attraction theory, which explains what are the most common characteristics that people look for in another person, besides basic attractions signs such hygene, appearence,among others features.
