"Evolution" Series Provides Infomercial for Dubious Field of "Evolutionary Psychology" Thursday, September 20, 2001 Contact: Mark Edwards 206.292.0401 x107 / medwards@discovery.org SEATTLEMany scientistsincluding many supporters of Darwinian theoryregard "evolutionary psychology" as pseudo-science, but viewers of the WGBH / Clear BLue Sky series "Evolution" won't get the opportunity to hear their views. Instead, during episode five of the series ("What about sex?") viewers will be subjected to an uncriticaland unrebuttedpresentation of some of evolutionary psychology's wildest and most speculative claims. The series devotes special attention to the sweeping theories of evolutionary pscyhologist Geoffrey Miller, who explains everything from the origins of the human brain to Handel's "Messiah" as a result of our drive for sex. Miller's conjectures have been criticized as "a product of the storyteller's art, not of science," by American Museum of Natural History paleoanthropologist Ian Tattersall (New York Times Book Review, June 11, 2000). But viewers won't get to hear any criticism of Miller's ideas. Growing out of the often-debunked "sociobiology" movement of the 1970s, evolutionary psychology is dominated by researchers who delight in issuing shocking pronouncements backed up by little or no scientific evidence.

129. Animal Behavior & Evolutionary Psychology -  Lecture 1, Page 1 Animal Behavior and evolutionary psychology Lecture 1 - Page 1. http://www.science.mcmaster.ca/psychology/psych1a6/1aa3/EvoPsych/lec1-1.htm

Animal behavior combines approaches from two fields: It combines the laboratory experimental approach of comparative psychology with the field observational approach of ethology , a branch of biology. Ethological observational work gives us information about what animals do, in what order, and under what conditions. It tells us little or nothing (directly) about the causes of that behavior. Comparative psychology studies the factors that determine an animal's behavior, but it's focus on laboratory research means that it often does not see animals in their natural habitats. Nikko Tinbergen, one of the 'fathers' of ethology (and, along with Konrad Lorenz, the winner of a Nobel prize for his work in the area) argued that there are really only four basic questions that we can ask about any behavior. (Note that the ontogeny of a behavior is its development over time in the individual.) Tinbergen's four questions may not seem like much, but they actually open a world of questions when applied to the specific behaviors of hundreds (or thousands) of different species. Some of these specific questions are listed in the graphics to the left and below. Back to the top of the page

131. Brain Channels - A Rising Star: Evolutionary Psychology evolutionary psychology is a revolutionary breakthrough that is based primarily upon the biological evolutionary processes of the human brain. http://www.brainchannels.com/evolution/mind.html

Back Home There is a rising star on the horizon shining through a century old social science model gradually fading to the most recent evidence acquired through brain research. Evolutionary Psychology is a revolutionary breakthrough that is based primarily upon the biological evolutionary processes of the human brain. To understand the impact Evolutionary Psychology is beginning to have, let's take a look at today's popular model known as the "Standard Social Science Model" that still dominates psychology, anthropology, sociology and the wider western cultures today. The basic theory behind the outdated Standard Social Science Model is that the human mind begins as a blank slate, having no internal, predesigned nature. Experiences are created only as the result of culture encoding itself onto the human mind. Reducing the human mind to nothing but that of a blank monitor screen or computer hard drive needing the software called "culture" is the foundation upon which present day psychology, anthropology, sociology and the wider western culture of the past century have existed upon. The present model thus reduces we as human beings to nothing but that of what has been most recently created computers, designed for the purposes of processing information.

(Charles Darwin, 1859, from The Origin of Species A great deal of psychological research and theory throughout the 20th century has been concerned with the immediate, or proximate, causes of behaviour, such as learning culture , and hormones . In contrast, Evolutionary Psychology (EP) investigates inherited, or ultimate, causes and the evolved architecture of the mind. Whereas traditional psychology has addressed the question "How?", EP attempts to answer the question "Why?". EP seeks to understand the mind through the lens of our evolutionary past, and attempts to explain psychological processes by the principles of adaptation and selection The framework of evolution applies to all facets of the mind and body . Hence, we will cover in this course a wide variety of topics, including:

135. THE THIRD CULTURE Collected works and ideas of intellectuals whose work bridges the gap that C.P. Snow identified as existing between traditional intellectuals and the sciences. Topics include physics, evolutionary biology, philosophy, psychology, artificial life, chaos theory, neural nets, fractals, and others. http://www.edge.org/3rd_culture/index.html

Home About Edge Features Edge Editions ... Edge Search The Third Culture The third culture consists of those scientists and other thinkers in the empirical world who, through their work and expository writing, are taking the place of the traditional intellectual in rendering visible the deeper meanings of our lives, redefining who and what we are. In the past few years, the playing field of American intellectual life has shifted, and the traditional intellectual has become increasingly marginalized. A 1950s education in Freud, Marx, and modernism is not a sufficient qualification for a thinking person in the 1990s. Indeed, the traditional American intellectuals are, in a sense, increasingly reactionary, and quite often proudly (and perversely) ignorant of many of the truly significant intellectual accomplishments of our time. Their culture, which dismisses science, is often nonempirical. It uses its own jargon and washes its own laundry. It is chiefly characterized by comment on comments, the swelling spiral of commentary eventually reaching the point where the real world gets lost. In 1959 C.P. Snow published a book titled The Two Cultures. On the one hand, there were the literary intellectuals; on the other
