Science As Culture - SOCIOBIOLOGY SANITIZED: THE EVOLUTIONARY PSYCHOLOGY AND GEN
Sociopolitical overview of the circumstances leading to the development of evolutionary psychology as distinct from Sociobiology, by Val Dusek. This web page is associated with the Science-as-Culture mailing list and journal.
http://human-nature.com/science-as-culture/dusek.html

Extractions: Evolutionary Psychology Online The Open Directory by Val Dusek Amazon US UK I Two decades later the debate concerning the genetic determination of human behavior has been reanimated in the general intellectual and middle-brow media with a somewhat more restrained tone. The study of evolutionary accounts of human behavior is now called "evolutionary psychology" to avoid some of the justifiably bad connotations that were associated with sociobiology. During the last few years the linguist Steve Pinker, ( ) philosopher Daniel Dennett, ( ) New Republic editor and science popularizer Robert Wright,( ) and science writer Matt Ridley ( ) have produced feisty, polemical expositions of evolutionary psychology for a broad audience. Stephen J. Gould has returned to the breach to criticize evolutionary psychology, but several writers considered to be on the left have defended sociobiological approaches and criticized postmodern rejection of biologism. The core theories of evolutionary psychology are the same as those of sociobiology. Several of the commonly made distinctions between evolutionary psychology and sociobiology turn out not to distinguish the two. So what has changed and what is new?

http://faculty.wm.edu/lakirk/syll470.html

Extractions: Millington 123 Dawkins, R. (1989). The selfish gene (new edition) [original edition pub. 1976]. Oxford: Oxford University Press. Buss, D. M. (1999). Evolutionary psychology: The new science of the mind Additional readings will be available either on reserve (at Swem and/or electronic reserve) or via the WWW. Overview and Goals This course is designed to provide an introduction to an exciting (at least to me) emerging paradigm in social science research. I use the word "paradigm" advisedly: "Evolutionary psychology" refers not to a specific set of research topics or content area, but rather to a fundamentally different approach to thinking about human nature and how it interacts with environments to produce patterns of cognition, emotion, and behavior. Although appreciation of this approach to psychological research is growing, it remains highly controversial in psychology (as well as other social science) circles. back to top Course Requirements and Grades Your grade will be based on the following: a midterm exam, covering Dawkins and corresponding lecture material (30%); a final exam, covering Buss and corresponding lecture material (30%); and major paper due near the end of the semester (40%). See schedule below for dates.

Evolutionary Psychology And Sociology
What these are and what abilities and biases they give us at birth is the subject of evolutionary psychology, which we introduce here.
http://www.calresco.org/lucas/evolpsy.htm

Extractions: "Psychology has a long past, but only a short history." Hermann Ebbinghaus, Abriss der Psychologie (Summary of Psychology), 1908 "The goal of research in evolutionary psychology is to discover and understand the design of the human mind." Evolutionary Psychology: A Primer Human beings are part animal, and like most animals we have at birth a large number of abilities. These abilities do not relate to learning or experience since at that stage we have none. They do relate to genetics and the development of our body and brain, based upon self-organizational processes. What these are and what abilities and biases they give us at birth is the subject of Evolutionary Psychology, which we introduce here. This field is not directly a complexity specialism but has much in common with the general themes studied in complexity. Unlike many animals, human babies are born premature and do not complete their natal development for perhaps a year after birth, so it is not so apparent that babies do already have many abilities as a result of their genetic past. We have only however to look at the genetic similarity between humans and other species (over 98% DNA common with the apes) to realise that whatever abilities such animals have at birth we potentially have also. This means that we do not start life as a 'tabula rasa' or blank state as so many assume, but already programmed with a set of hidden assumptions about the world and predispositions to process data and to act in certain instinctive ways.

Sociobiology (evolutionary psychology). http//www.egroups.com/group/evolutionarypsychology - the evolutionary psychology mailing list.
http://www.geocities.com/ptypes/sociobiology.html

Extractions: Darwin's Progress - National Review - Britannica.com Wilson's orthodox Darwinian sociobiology made countless enemies in academia. Centrist anthropologists John Tooby and Leda Cosmides accordingly relaunched sociobiology under the neutral name of "evolutionary psychology." Pronouncing themselves the truest True Believers in equality, Tooby and Cosmides portrayed human nature as almost monolithically uniform and proclaimed that evolutionary psychology should study only human similarities. But while egalitarianism served as a useful cover for infiltrating neo-Darwinism into academia, it proved a largely useless methodology for learning about humanity. Why? Because knowledge consists of contrasts. To learn much about human nature, we need to look for patterns of similarities and differences among humans.

INTRODUCING evolutionary psychology. These questions are at the centre of a rapidly growing research programme called evolutionary psychology.
http://www.dylan.org.uk/evpsych.html

Extractions: THE MATRIX : This book was required reading for the main actors in The Matrix - as Keanu Reeves says in this extract from The Matrix Revisited. See also my article, Smash the Windows How did the mind evolve? How does the human mind differ from the minds of our ancestors, and from the minds of our nearest relatives, the apes? What are the universal features of the human mind, and why are they designed the way they are? If our minds are built by selfish genes, why are we so cooperative? Can the differences between male and female psychology be explained in evolutionary terms? These questions are at the centre of a rapidly growing research programme called evolutionary psychology. Drawing on the insights of evolutionary biology and cognitive psychology, as well as data from anthropology, primatology and archaeology, evolutionary psychologists are beginning to piece together the first truly scientific account of human nature. Introducing Evolutionary Psychology is the perfect introduction to this exciting new field. Clearly and concisely written by Dylan Evans, and superbly illustrated by award-winning artist Oscar Zarate, it offers a fascinating view of the history of the mind.

Search "If you want to know the obvious, ask a psychologist." Has psychology become respectable at last? Lynne Segal Guardian Tuesday March 13, 2001 Before the meteoric rise of cultural studies in the 80s made it a sitting duck for academic satirists such as Laurie Taylor, psychology was a favourite target: "If you want to know the obvious, ask a psychologist." Taylor had primary source material, launching his own career as a psychologist four decades ago with "a nonsensical piece of research" on the correlation between eye-contact and interpersonal agreement. Measuring eye contact remains a staple of social psychology. Oxford psychologist Michael Argyle is prominent in the field: we tend to look more at people we like. Broadening his variables to include issues of key social concern, such as leisure, Argyle more recently discovered: "Involvement in sports usually begins in childhood when the main influences are parents and peers."

Search Management Stone Age bosses aren't all that bad Evolutionary psychology suggests you go with basic instincts. By Simon Caulkin Work Unlimited Observer Sunday January 14, 2001 The knottiest problems in management are usually not to do with formulating strategy or carrying out routine operations (unless of course you are the railway industry). Time and again when managers are asked what causes them most grief, they reply that it is the most basic things of all: 'People' and 'change'. But here's a puzzle. Human beings are social animals. We are brilliantly equipped for appraising, interpreting and communicating with others. We are also wonderfully adaptable. We change and grow all our lives. We change homes, partners and governments. We swap fashions at the drop of a hat or hemline. But if that's the case - if people are naturally good at change and communicating - how come companies make such a hash of it?

Paul Higgs reviews the book edited by Hilary Rose and Steven P. R. Rose.
http://bmj.com/cgi/content/full/322/7288/740

Extractions: In 1977 Edward O Wilson, the renowned entomologist, published Sociobiology: The New Synthesis , which insisted on the biological foundations of social relations. In 1998 he published Consilience: The Unity of Knowledge , which attempted to bring together all the branches of knowledge under the umbrella of the natural sciences. He concluded the book by declaring that the workings of all social institutions are ultimately reducible to the laws of physics. It is against this reductionist desire that Alas, Poor Darwin is directed. Edited by the biologist Steven Rose and the sociologist Hilary Rose, it brings together writers from the natural and social sciences who take aim at the claims of evolutionary psychology (as sociobiology has become) to explain individual and social behaviour.
