0 the state of being likely to behave in a particular way or to suffer from a particular disease:
Acknowledging the prior operation of group selection provides an evolutionarily coherent explanation of the survival of human behavioral predispositions that enable social cooperation.
To some extent, apparent predisposition to reinfection could arise from imperfect efficacy of cure.
In those cases where a more in-depth explanation is put forward, this typically refers to individual predispositions.
The emphasis on constraints presupposes that the basic, universal, species typical behavioral predispositions of humans are foraging only.
After having made such assumptions, researchers typically go on to investigate how predispositions affect opinion formation, information processing, voting behaviour, or some other important topic.
On the one hand, they acknowledge that humans possess innate predispositions just like all other creatures.
Collectively, these results reveal personality to be comparable to demographics and to fundamental political predispositions in two important manners.
Studies of multiple infections are also important for furthering understanding of crossspecies immunity and predisposition to infection within hosts.
