i. Actors and recipients are characterised by increased reproductive success in mutually beneficial interactions.
ii. Actors benefit and recipients incur costs (i.e., are harmed) in selfish interactions.
iii. Actors incur costs (i.e., are harmed) and recipients benefit in altruistic interactions.
iv. Actors incur costs (i.e., are harmed) and recipients incur greater costs in spiteful interactions.v. Hamilton's rule can be used to show that an allele encoding altruistic behaviour could be favoured; spiteful behavior, however, never can evolve.

In Biology of Beauty, Cowley found that contemporaryfemales are attracted to males with broad foreheads and strong chins, and that this effect persisted across different cultures. How did Cowley explain this result?
A. This is a trick question- this attraction is culturally relative
B. Males compete for access to females by developing these features as a form of male-male competition
C. There is no evidence that females really are differentially attracted to males with these features
D. Attraction to males with these features is adaptive for females because males with these traits are usually sexually mature and have healthy immune systems
E. Only some human cultures value these traits as attractive.
