Extractions: March 14, 2000 Related Articles Part Two of This Article The New York Times on the Web: Science Forums Join a Discussion on Mental Health and Treatment Join a Discussion on Health in the News By ERICA GOODE hen two scientists proposed in a recent book that rape was best viewed as a sexual act with its roots in evolution, it set off a squall of protest from feminists and social scientists, won the researchers appearances on programs like NBC's "Dateline," and became the talk of the cocktail party circuit. Even last week the controversy continued, with the book's authors engaging in a rancorous exchange over a critical review in the scientific journal Nature. But the case put forward by Dr. Randy Thornhill and Dr. Craig Palmer in "A Natural History of Rape: Biological Bases of Sexual Coercion," published last month by the MIT Press, was not, as some assumed, a fringe theory developed by a pair of renegade researchers. Rather, the arguments made by Dr. Thornhill and Dr. Palmer fit into a larger theoretical framework, the work of a group of scientists who have ushered Darwin into new and provocative areas, including sexual attraction between men and women, parenting, jealousy and violence, as well as less touchy regions like the learning of language and the organization of perception. And while some of these researchers, who call their approach "evolutionary psychology" (other scientists view it as only one way of approaching evolutionary psychology), would quibble with some of the methods used and conclusions drawn by the authors of the rape book, most would endorse the larger principles that underlie the work.

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?

Extractions: We cannot, however, consistently think of ourselves as members only of that one grand coalition: the Brotherhood of Mankind. Our disposition to think in terms of "us" versus "them" is irremediable and it has unavoidable political implications. Wilkinson's conclusion is probably true, though it's certainly not new. Social psychologists have been making similar points for decades, without the benefit (burden) of evolutionary stories. In fact, the two evolutionary stories that Wilkinson cites here, the social exchange theory, which can be thrown out due to a lack of evidence, and significant amounts of recalcitrant data, and Kurzban's theories of stigmatization and social categorization, which also has preciously little empirical support, are utterly superfluous in Wilkinson's argument. They're little more than distractions from the real point: that in-group, out-group dynamics appear across cultures, and that understanding them is important if we are to successfully transcend perceived group boundaries.

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.

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."

Results show that although sociability (individual differences in the enjoyment of social activities and the preference for being with others over being alone) is an important part of extraversion, it may actually be a by-product of reward sensitivity, rather than a core feature of extraversion Mother knows best research reported in the August issue of The Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine1 indicates that if mothers clearly state their disapproval of sexual activity, in a warm and loving environment, adolescents are more likely to delay their first experience of sexual intercourse.

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?
