- W613207639 abstract "In its most general form, evolutionary psychology is simply psychology thatis properly grounded in evolutionary biology. But most research that fallsunder the banner of evolutionary psychology might be given a more specificgloss, as the Darwinian adaptationist programme applied to the mind/brain.How does this idea work?Viewed through the lens of Darwinian theory, organisms are (for themost part) integrated collections of adaptations, where adaptations arephenotypic traits that are evolved responses to adaptive problems, andwhere adaptive problems are selection pressures — recurring environmentalconditions that influence reproductive success, or fitness, of individualorganisms. Adaptations, then, contribute (or once contributed) to thereproductive success of the organisms that have them. Fitness maximisationper se is not a goal of individual organisms, however. Organisms cannotseek directly to maximise their fitness, since what counts as fitnesspromotingbehaviour in one situation or for one individual is not likely to beso in another situation or for another individual (Cosmides & Tooby, 1987;Symons, 1992). Rather, thanks to their specific adaptations, individualorganisms have correspondingly specific goals that are tied to particularaspects of their physical and social environments, and to the lives they leadin those environments, and which affect, directly or indirectly, theirreproductive success. In other words, organisms maximise their fitness bysolving many specific adaptive problems. Evolutionary psychology 'simply'applies this well-established Darwinian reasoning to the human brain. Thusconceived, the brain is an integrated collection of psychologicalamechanisms that evolved because their behavioural effects tended to helpmaintain or increase the fitness of organisms whose brains contained thosemechanisms. The human brain is thus viewed as a system of psychologicaladaptations, a system shaped by natural selection to solve many specificadaptive problems." @default.
