  1. Darwin was not the first to suggest that species evolve, but he was the first to suggest:
    A. That sex is an important component of evolution
    B. That evolution occurs by genetics
    C. That culture is an important component of evolution
    D. How evolution occurs
A

C. How evolution occurs
In the early 19th century Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744–1829) proposed his theory of the transmutation of species, the first fully formed theory of evolution. In 1858 Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace published a new evolutionary theory, explained in detail in Darwin’s On the Origin of Species (1859).

    A. Increased cortisol enhances estrogen production
    B. Decreased stress enhances estrogen production
    C. Cortisol levels do not affect estrogen production
    D. Increased stress enhances estrogen production
A

B. Decreased stress enhances estrogen production

When you are stressed, or overly busy, your cortisol levels go sky high and your body must use up its progesterone to keep up, which will ultimately deplete your “oh so helpful” hormone, progesterone. As more progesterone is used for cortisol production, less is available to balance estrogen – leading to increased estrogen levels.
