Answer:

Michael's views conform to the evolutionary perspective.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the evolutionary perspective in psychology, our emotions, thoughts, responses, and ability to learn all result from evolution, natural and sexual selection. For instance, children have an incredible ability when it comes to language learning, being able to speak a language with minimal training. This perspective sees such ability is a psychological adaptation, the result of millennia of adaptive changes we inherited from our ancestors.
