How environmental pressures might alter the frequency of certain traits.
Reason: comparing related populations lets scientists observe selection and predict changes in allele/trait frequencies under environmental pressures. They cannot pinpoint the exact moment of speciation or the exact genotype of every future offspring, and social behaviors are not reliably predicted just from population genetics.
