Abstract
Evolutionary theory outlines the manner in which natural and sexual selection have shaped physical characteristics to address specific evolutionary problems. Evolutionary psychologists propose that psychological mechanisms (such as jealousy) have also evolved in their current form because they addressed specific problems of survival or reproduction across evolutionary history (Buss, 2004). These problems include the avoidance of predators, identification of appropriate food, and importantly for Shrek and Fiona, the selection and retention of a suitable mate. The chapter interprets the relationship between Shrek and Fiona from an evolutionary perspective, with particular focus on the physical and psychological differences between men and women.
