Some modern anthropologists hold that biological evolution has shaped not only human morphology but also human behavior. The role those anthropologists ascribe to evolution is not of dictating the details of human behavior but one of imposing constraints—ways of feeling, thinking, and acting that “come naturally” in archetypal situations in any culture. Our “frailties”—emotions and motives such as rage, fear, greed, gluttony, joy, lust, love—may be a very mixed assortment, but they share at least one immediate quality: we are, as we say, “in the grip” of them. And thus they give us our sense of constraints.
Unhappily, some of those frailties—our need for ever-increasing security among them—are presently maladaptive. Yet beneath the overlay of cultural detail, they, too, are said to be biological in direction, and therefore as natural to us as are our appendixes. We would need to comprehend thoroughly their adaptive origins in order to understand how badly they guide us now. And we might then begin to resist their pressure.)

It can be inferred that in his discussion of maladaptive frailties the author assumes that
(A) evolution does not favor the emergence of adaptive characteristics over the emergence of maladaptive ones
(B) any structure or behavior not positively adaptive is regarded as transitory in evolutionary theory
(C) maladaptive characteristics, once fixed, make the emergence of other maladaptive characteristics more likely
(D) the designation of a characteristic as being maladaptive must always remain highly tentative
(E) changes in the total human environment can outpace evolutionary change

为什么选E？
谢谢。。。

看文章最后一句 We would need to comprehend thoroughly their adaptive origins in order to understand how badly they guide us now. And we might then begin to resist their pressure.
     their adaptive就是说的就是frailties，我们有必要彻底理解这些弱点适应的起因，从而理解这些弱点支配我们是多么的糟糕。然后，我们便开始反抗抵制弱点给我们的压力。
    E选项的意思是 整个人类环境的改变可以超过进化的改变。提干中说道maladaptive，也就是说不适这些缺点，前文中说道缺点 as natural ，也就是说天生的，和E选项中的evolution一致。那么对于不适应的会怎么样呢，文中说到开始resist了，这个resist有些不好理解，比方说前面提到了阑尾，人类对于阑尾如何处理的？直接切掉，这个就是以后总resist的表现。其实对于生物进化论来讲，任何不适应环境的都会被淘汰掉，但是人类却比较强大，能自主的改变环境，如同切阑尾。于是就是说，人类在环境上的改变可以超过进化的改变
    自己的一些理解，希望对你的理解有帮助，其实E选项也是原文的深度改写，不过改得很隐晦。
