Peter Carruthers (DPhil, Oxford) is Professor of Philosophy and Chair of the Department of Philosophy at the University of Maryland. His primary research interests for most of the last decade or so have been in the philosophy of psychology. He has worked especially on theories of consciousness and on the role of natural language in human cognition. But he has also published on such issues as: the nature and status of our folk psychology; nativism and modularity; issues to do with evolutionary psychology and cognitive architecture; theories of intentional content; and defense of a notion of narrow content for psychological explanation. Before coming to College Park he was at the University of Sheffield (UK), where he had a spell as Head of Department and was Director of the Hang Seng Centre for Cognitive Studies . He continues to be connected with the latter through his involvement in a large three-year interdisciplinary research project on “ Innateness and the Structure of the Mind In a previous incarnation he trained as a Wittgensteinian, and published a couple of monographs on Wittgenstein’s Tractatus . He has also published books on epistemology, and on ethics (see below).

Evolutionary Psychology: A Primer Co-Directors Center for Evolutionary Psychology University of California, Santa Barbara Table of Contents INTRODUCTION The goal of research in evolutionary psychology is to discover and understand the design of the human mind. Evolutionary psychology is an approach to psychology, in which knowledge and principles from evolutionary biology are put to use in research on the structure of the human mind. It is not an area of study, like vision, reasoning, or social behavior. It is a way of thinking about psychology that can be applied to any topic within it. In this view, the mind is a set of information-processing machines that were designed by natural selection to solve adaptive problems faced by our hunter-gatherer ancestors. This way of thinking about the brain, mind, and behavior is changing how scientists approach old topics, and opening up new ones. This chapter is a primer on the concepts and arguments that animate it. Debauching the mind: Evolutionary psychology's past and present In the final pages of the Origin of Species , after he had presented the theory of evolution by natural selection, Darwin made a bold prediction: "In the distant future I see open fields for far more important researches. Psychology will be based on a new foundation, that of the necessary acquirement of each mental power and capacity by gradation." Thirty years later, William James tried to do just that in his seminal book

From Skeptic vol. 4, no. 1, 1996, pp. 42-49. For more information, visit www.skeptic.com The (Im)moral Animal By Frank Miele Is "the fault, dear Brutus, not in our stars but in ourselves?" In our genes? Or in our jeans? Why do some "bestride the narrow world like a Colossus" while other "petty men [most of us] peep about to find ourselves dishonorable graves"? Are not men, as Shakespeare suggested in Julius Caesar , at least sometimes "masters of their fates"? Or, as Jack Nicholson's "average horny little devil" asks about the differences between men and women, in the film version of Updike's The Witches of Eastwick Do you think God knew what he was doing...or do you think it was just another of his minor mistakeslike tidal waves, earthquakes, floods....When we make mistakes, they call it evil; God makes mistakes, they call it nature. A mistake? Or did he do it on purpose? Because if it's a mistake, maybe we can do something about itfind a cure; invent a vaccine; build up our immune system. Throughout most of human history, the answers to these questions have come from myth or literature. Starting with the Enlightenment, however, the answers have usually been couched in the allegedly "objective findings" of either history or science. Since the end of World War II, the "standard model of social science," as summarized by Robert Wright in his very readable introduction to evolutionary psychology, skeptically (if not cynically) titled The Moral Animal , has held that "the uniquely malleable human mind, together with the unique force of culture, has severed our behavior from its evolutionary roots;...[and] there is no inherent human nature driving events...our essential nature is to be driven" (1994, p. 5).

34. The Evolution Of Evolutionary Psychology The Evolution of evolutionary psychology From Sociobiology to evolutionary psychology. Sociobiology Versus evolutionary psychology. http://www.personalityresearch.org/papers/seltin.html

The Evolution of Evolutionary Psychology: From Sociobiology to Evolutionary Psychology Melissa Seltin Northwestern University The theory of evolutionary psychology has generated much debate among both psychologists and philosophers. Therefore it is imperative that evolutionary psychology be evaluated in detail. In doing so, one is forced to examine its forerunner, sociobiology, and also question the concept of a good theory. Metatheory dictates that a good theory should be simple, accurate, fruitful, consistent, etc. Sociobiology, although strong in its Darwinian foundations, is highly criticized as being limited in scope and difficult to falsify. Evolutionary psychology is also criticized as being difficult to falsify, but scientists commend this theory for its fruitfulness and its ability to encompass many different fields of psychology while connecting psychology to the more hardcore sciences. Sociobiology Sociobiology is the study of the biological determinants of social behavior, based on the theory that such behavior is often genetically transmitted and subject to evolutionary processes. It stresses the importance of behavior and is committed to the theories of the adaptationist program. The adaptationist program assumes that certain creatures or groups of creatures currently exist because their past relatives possessed certain phenotypic traits that they were able to pass on to future generations. In 1975, Wilson published Sociobiology, which was highly debated among theorists of the time. However, one no longer hears that psychology will be encompassed by sociobiology; rather psychology has incorporated some sociobiological theses while rejecting the more extreme assertions (Anker, 1987, p. 426). This is evident to those who have taken courses in various fields of psychology. Since 1975, evidence of genetic influence on behavior and acceptance of the theory has increased steadily. However, because of the general form of sociobiological argument, many remain skeptical.

36. Evolutionary Psychology - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia evolutionary psychology. The term evolutionary psychology was coined in the book The Adapted Mind evolutionary psychology and The Generation of Culture. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_psychology

Evolutionary psychology From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Evolutionary psychology (EP) proposes that human cognition and behavior could be better understood by examining them in light of human evolutionary history. Specifically, EP proposes that the brain comprises a large number of functional mechanisms, called psychological adaptations, that evolved by natural selection to effect or faciliate the reproduction of the organism. These mechanisms are universal in the species, with the exception that some will be specific to one sex or the other. Uncontroversial examples of psychological adaptatations include vision, hearing, memory, and motor control. More controversial examples include male and female mating preferences and strategies, incest avoidance mechanisms, and cheater detection mechanisms. The main sources of evolutionary psychology are: cognitive psychology genetics ethology anthropology ... biology , and zoology . The term evolutionary psychology was probably coined by Ghiselin in his 1973 article in Science. Leda Cosmides and John Tooby popularized the term in their highly influential book The Adapted Mind: Evolutionary Psychology and The Generation of Culture ISBN 0195101073 Evolutionary psychology has been applied to the study of many fields, including economics, aggression, law, psychiatry, politics, literature, and sex.

Definition of Evolutionary Psychology* The focus of evolutionary psychology has been most clearly defined by Leda Cosmides and John Tooby, two researchers currently at UC Santa Barbara. Evolutionary psychologists (EP) are interested in studying the evolved cognitive structure of the mind. EP argue that much has changed since the mind evolved in the ancestral environment, and behaviours observed today may or may not be adaptive. The focus of study is on psychological or mental mechanisms, also referred to as decision processes, information processes, or Darwinian algorithms. Darwinian algorithms are defined as: "Innate specialized learning mechanisms that evolved in ancestral populations for organizing experience into adaptively meaningful schemes or frames." The mechanisms and processes described above are proximate mechanisms. Proximate or immediate causes are the immediate factors responsible for a particular response, such as internal physiology, previous experience, conditions in the environment, etc. Although the mechanisms and decision processes they study are proximate, evolutionary psychologists believe these mechanisms were shaped by natural selection. The goal of EP is to define the workings of psychological mechanisms, including the constraints on their operation and the effects and influence of various environmental inputs (from the immediate social or physical environment and/or from experience and learning). Within their research program, evolutionary psychologists are concerned with three issues:
