    evolutionary psychology (EP) innate vs. learned. 1.abstract. Evolutionary 3.4 `evolutionary psychology as a missing link (earlier chapter). Cosmides  
    http://human-brain.org/evolpsy2.html
    
    Extractions: 2 May 1997 [Last updated 10 May 2002] Evolutionary psychology (EP) is an emerging branch of anthropology and psychology, which have been gaining ground lately. A fundamental tenet of EP is that large part of psychology is innate, as opposed to learned, to the point of rejecting the concept of "learning" altogether (e.g. 3.2.7 below). Here I discuss the evidence and arguments that are used in EP for the innateness of psychological traits. In section [2] I outline the main arguments for and against innateness and learning. In section [3] I analyse general discussions of the EP approach. These come from 'The Adapted Mind' by Barkow, cosmides and Tooby (1992), which at the time of writing was the most prominent book in EP, and an earlier chapter by the same authors. Here I discuss only those articles and chapters that touch on the point of learning. In section [4] I discuss specific chapters from 'The Adapted Mind'. In section [5] I discuss other examples. The reader should note that in the text in sections [3-5] I am not intending to bring evidence against innateness. The evidence against innateness is outlined in [2.2] below. What I am trying to show in sections [3-5] is that the evidence

    Ketelaar and Ellis have provided a remarkably clear and succinct statement of Lakatosian philosophy of science and have also argued compellingly that evolutionary theory fills the Lakatosian criteria of a progressivity.

    Extractions: Note : If you want to print this article, then there is a PDF version , which will print better. Ketelaar and Ellis have provided a remarkably clear and succinct statement of Lakatosian philosophy of science and have also argued compellingly that the neo-Darwinian theory of evolution fills the Lakatosian criteria of progressivity. We find ourselves in agreement with much of what Ketelaar and Ellis say about Lakatosian philosophy of science, but have some questions about (1) the place of evolutionary psychology in a Lakatosian framework, and (2) the extent to which evolutionary psychology truly predicts new findings. Lakatos, as Ketelaar and Ellis observe, conceives of research programs as having two levels: a hard core consisting of fundamental meta-theoretical assumptions and a protective belt containing auxiliary assumptions. Together, the hard core and the protective belt produce hypotheses and predictions that, ultimately, can confirm or disconfirm the assumptions in the hard core. Typically, however, failed predictions do not call into question the meta-theoretical assumptions of the hard core. This is so, for hypotheses and predictions derive from the hard core and the auxiliary assumptions of the protective belt. Consequently, given recalcitrant data, one can always place the blame on the assumptions in the protective belt, leaving untarnished the meta-theoretical assumptions of the hard core. It is only when the protective belt begins to function simply as a device for explaining away anomalies and does little by way of generating new predictions that the time comes to suspect the assumptions of the hard core.

70. Evolutionary Psychology: Entry
    1. What Is evolutionary psychology? In this narrower sense, then, evolutionary psychology designates research within a Kuhnian paradigm (Kuhn 1996).  
    http://host.uniroma3.it/progetti/kant/field/ep.htm
    
    Extractions: 1. What Is Evolutionary Psychology? The term "evolutionary psychology" is sometimes used simply as "a shorthand for 'psychological theorizing informed by modern evolutionary theory'" (Daly & Wilson , p. 7), a shorthand for "understanding the human mind/brain mechanisms in evolutionary perspective" (Buss , p. 3). This portrays evolutionary psychology as a field of inquiry , which is so broad as to cover work ranging from studies of the optimality of foraging and birth spacing in hunter-gatherer societies to studies of encephalization (the progressive increase in brain size relative to body size in the human lineage) and the evolution of altruism and language. This broad range of work varies significantly in fundamental theoretical and methodological commitments, and it is united only by a very general commitment to the idea that human cognition, emotion, and behavior can be understood from an evolutionary perspective. Many researchers in this field often deliberately resist the "evolutionary psychology" label, however, preferring to classify their work as, for example, human sociobiology, human ethology, human behavioral ecology, or evolutionary anthropology. The reason is that the term "evolutionary psychology" is increasingly being used to designate only work conducted within a specific set of theoretical and methodological commitments shared by a prominent and influential group of researchers (most notably the psychologists David M. Buss, Leda Cosmides, and Steven Pinker and the anthropologists Donald Symons and John Tooby). This group is united in the belief that adoption of an evolutionary perspective on human psychology immediately entails a number of very specific theoretical and methodological commitments. These commitments have been forcefully articulated in two important manifestos (Barkow, Cosmides, and Tooby's

    evolutionary psychology of the mechanisms that give rise to and shape human culture (University of California at Los Angeles).  
    http://www.sscnet.ucla.edu/anthro/faculty/boyd/
    
    Extractions: Unlike other organisms, humans acquire a rich body of information from others by teaching, imitation, and other forms of social learning, and this culturally transmitted information strongly influences human behavior. Culture is an essential part of the human adaptation, and as much a part of human biology as bipedal locomotion or thick enamel on our molars. My research is focused on the evolutionary psychology of the mechanisms that give rise to and shape human culture, and how these mechanisms interact with population dynamic processes to shape human cultural variation. I have done much of this work in collaboration with Peter J. Richerson. A new book entitled Not by Genes Alone: How culture transformed human evolution gives a nonmathematical treatment of this work, and will be available from the University of Chicago Press in September 2004.

    Extractions: An Introduction to Evolutionary Psychology In order to understand Evolutionary Psychology we need to begin with an explanation of Evolution and psychology. Evolution is the theory that life has evolved from progressive developments in species which can be traced back to more simpler life forms ( ' The Origin of the Species' like a computer; it is a computer'). Against the background of these preliminary thoughts, Evolutionary Psychology is the theory that the complexity of the mind has developed as a result of natural selection in response to changing social conditions. It was once commonly believed that the mind was a single entity which acquired, interpreted and solved a variety of information/problems. However, a new modular view of the mind has developed in contrast to this view which sees it as being divided into numerous parts, all designed to deal with, and assess, a variety of information. Within the context of evolution/natural selection the modular view sees the mind as something which has developed an increasing array of complexity in response to various 'adaptive problems' (these needing to be solved if the organism were to stay alive and reproduce). 'Different environments pose different adaptive problems and so require different adaptations. There is not much point in having eyes if you live deep underground, where there is no light. If you want to understand any adaptation, therefore, you must know something about the environment in which it evolved.'

Historical Precedents The Republic Aristotle explicitly argued that a stable, unchanging human psychological nature would dictate that the arts would possess specifiable, unchanging features. In a seldom noticed aside in The Politics Poetics can be understood as a catalogue of the features that he expects the arts, primarily drama and fiction, to possess precisely because they are created by and for human beings with a stable intellectual, imaginative, and emotional nature. For example, he argues that main themes of tragedy will involve the disruption of normal family relations, such as we see in Oedipus and Medea .His unspoken implication is that this fascination with stresses and ruptures of families represents a permanent feature of human interest , and not merely a local manifestation of Greek cultural concerns.

    Extractions: Advanced Search Previous Next AFFILIATION RELATION: Joining the crowd may be an evolutionarily productive practice. And people will often band together by whatever means available. In a 2001 study, for example, John Tooby and colleagues concluded that no part of the human cognition is designed to encode race as a group identifier (not the case with age or gender). During humans' evolutionary history, the researchers reasoned, people did not often encounter other races. As they showed using team jerseys, categorizing by race is a byproduct of the actual objective set by natural selection: categorizing by coalitional affiliation.

Maybe religiosity serves as a group-level adaptation, allowing some to persevere over others. Some researchers, known generally as evolutionary psychologists, seek rigorous ways to investigate such complex human traits. In so doing, they're pushing the boundaries of scientific explanation and addressing aspects of human behavior once believed to be off-limits for scientists.
