scientific applications of intuition
the evolutionary nature of jealousy
the unscientific nature of conventional wisdom
empirical evidence of loyalty

Explanation:

Analyze the first question

This question asks about the evolutionary adaptation perspective on social behavior.
Evolutionary psychology suggests that humans inherit behavioral predispositions rather than rigid, genetically determined behaviors.
Therefore, we inherit tendencies or predispositions to behave in certain ways.

Analyze the second question

Louisa is comparing two contradictory proverbs: "absence makes the heart grow stronger" and "out of sight, out of mind."
These proverbs represent conventional wisdom (or common sense), which often provides contradictory explanations without scientific testing.
This demonstrates the unscientific nature of conventional wisdom.
