Kin Selection: This theory states that people are more likely to help blood relatives in difficult situations because this increases the odds that their genes will be transmitted to subsequent generations. The closer the relation between the people, the greater the likelihood that help will be given. Kinesthesis (Kinesthetic Sense): Imagine this...you drive into a parking lot, get out of the car, and start to walk toward your destination. You decide to cut through a bunch of parked cars and notice that some of them are close together, so when you get to them, you have to turn and adjust your body in order to get through the tight spaces. The reason you are able to sense whether you can fit, what type of movements you need, how to adjust your body position, etc., is because you have kinesthetic sense, or an ability to sense body position and the movement of muscles, tendons, and joints.
