Extractions: Course Website: http://duke.usask.ca/~dak935/epweb.htm "Much light will be thrown on the origin of man and his history." (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:

Evolution Of The Human Family
This is why careful consideration of evolutionary psychology is so imperative to fulfilling our human needs, and perpetuating our species.

Extractions: THE EVOLUTION OF THE HUMAN FAMILY or WHAT LOVE IS FOR PART I William G. Merriman An essay excerpted from the upcoming book: NATURALISTIC ETHICS A Moral Belief System for the Age of Science PART 1: CONFUSING SECONDARY STATUS DRIVE SEX WITH PRIMARY REPRODUCTIVE MATING THE IMPORTANCE OF EVOLUTIONARY PSYCHOLOGY Discerning human nature is imperative to living well as a human being. Human nature evolved as a set of innate predispositions that guide us toward our best interests as social animals. Like all instincts, our innate predispositions have been naturally selected through millions of years of trial and error 'field testing', developing inherent drives that actually work in practice, insuring the perpetuation of our species. Natural selection is a simple principle with profound consequences, it is the ordering factor that integrates organism with environment. In accordance with the physical necessities of natural law, the selective process sorts out coincidental genetic variations in breeding populations as a direct function of how well those traits serve the organism's needs. Genetic traits that facilitate survival of an organism are promoted by allowing that organism to better fulfill its needs, and live to an age when it can successfully reproduce, perpetuating adaptive traits; conversely, traits detrimental to the survival of an organism are weeded out by the effect of an early demise which thus thwarts reproduction and perpetuation of their kind. Therefore, innate traits derive from the completely objective interaction between organism and habitat. Natural order derives from the intrinsic properties of mass/energy configurations in ecological systems, it has no intention. Organisms are shaped in accordance with reality itself, the necessary functional relation between organism and environment being the inevitable outcome of evolutionary processes.

'Human Nature And The Limits Of Science' By John Dupre Reviewed By Leif Edward O
Dupr©'s Human Nature and The Limits of Science is not a successful attempt at providing a criticism of evolutionary psychology. Quite literally because it is not about evolutionary psychology, rather, as an extreme statement, it is about the author's prejudice of what evolutionary psychology is about, writes Leif Edward Ottesen Kennair in this detailed analysis.

Brian Appleyard reviews 'Alas, Poor Darwin Arguments against evolutionary psychology' edited by Hilary Rose and Steven Rose.
http://www.newstatesman.co.uk/200008140036.htm

Extractions: The succession of more or less destructive intellectual superstitions following the 19th-century crisis of faith is clear. First Marx, then Freud and now Darwin has been nominated as the patriarch of an all-encompassing system explaining human life and history. The latest, Darwinian phase is most characteristically expressed by the discipline of evolutionary psychology (EP), which insists that, because we are animals, our behaviour can be understood only as the result of evolution by natural selection. So, for example, we like pictures of countryside featuring grassland, water and trees because our ancestors spent so much time on the African savannah; and our sexual mores - male promiscuity, female coyness - are entirely determined by the evolved differences between male and female investments in the reproductive act. Plainly, there is a chance that such explanations are at least partly true; but, equally plainly, there is a good chance that they are not. There is no conclusive evidence either way. But the Darwinian faithful insist that they must be true. Why?

Extractions: e-mail: mshwartz@stanford.edu Do "selfish genes" program men to be more promiscuous than women? Beneath the veneer of civility, are people innately aggressive? Some researchers and a growing segment of the general population - would answer "yes" to those and a host of other questions, suggesting that we are tightly programmed by our genes. But according to Stanford evolutionist Paul R. Ehrlich, there is little scientific basis for such widely accepted notions. Ehrlich challenges the so-called "selfish gene" and other tenets of evolutionary psychology in his wide-ranging new book , Human Natures: Genes, Cultures and the Human Prospect (Shearwater Books/Island Press, Washington, D.C.).

http://www2.hawaii.edu/~lieberma/spsp/html/speakers.htm

Extractions: Although most specific cultural differences are regarded as of too recent origin to have affected human genes, culture per se has a much longer history and may predate the human species. The first part of this talk will provide a brief overview of the argument that human nature can be effectively understood as having been selected to create and sustain culture. In a sense, culture can be understood as the main biological strategy of humankind. Culture builds on sociality but takes it in radically new directions, including exchange relationships. Exchange relationships, of the sort that make possible a market economy, are underappreciated by social psychologists but represent a key to human success. The second part of this talk will explore the evolutionary requirements for making a species capable of flexible exchange relationships. In the 1970s, Russell Clark and I conducted a study designed to explore Gender Differences in Receptivity to Sexual Offers. As predicted, we found that while men were eager to engage in casual sex, women were not. A firestorm of criticism greeted our first attempts to publish these controversial findings. Since then, attention in a wide variety of manifestations has been lavished on the study. It has inspired rock songs, novels, many TV replications, and lots of new research; and the controversy that this small study set off continues right to this day. I will conclude by offering some ideas about the direction of future research in this provocative and rich area.

http://www.idthink.net/back/coyne/

Extractions: The Universal Acid Becomes Too Universal By Mike Gene ( I think it is quite clear the blind watchmaker mechanism (random mutation and natural selection, or as James Shapiro describes it, accidental changes captured by selection) exists and has been involved in evolution. It has also played a crucial role in many evolutionary events. But does the blind watchmaker mechanism really describe the essence of evolution? Those who think so can be described as UltraDarwinists. The UltraDarwinist may recognize other aspects of evolution (such as Neutral Theory), but to them, evolution is essentially synonymous with the blind watchmaker. As such, UltraDarwinists are predisposed to coming up with adaptation stories. While many such stories may be plausible, and even accurate, the problem is that one can tell such a story that has a ring of truth, yet it does not intersect with truth. Adaptation stories are incredibly easy to invent after the fact, making it very easy to misuse them in an ad hoc sense.

http://slate.msn.com/id/1004446/

Extractions: What scares people about the trial going on in London over whether Jewish historian Deborah Lipstadt libeled Holocaust denier David Irving by calling him a liar is that British law requires Lipstadt to show that her statement was true. If she can't prove beyond a doubt that the Holocaust took place, Irving might win. That would be a devastating blow to historical accuracy if it happens, but Culturebox thinks it won't. There's a lot of truth on Lipstadt's side, and very little on Irving's. Plus Lipstadt has one of the best lawyers in London and is planning to call several heavyweight scholars to testify. Irving, on the other hand, is acting as his own lawyer and so far has named very few witnesses and experts, none of whom anyone has ever heard of. If Irving doesn't appear to be taking the necessary steps to win, why else might he have brought the lawsuit? For publicity, is the obvious answerto air his own views, as well as those of his witnesses. And that's what scares Culturebox. Irving's claim that there were no gas chambers at Auschwitz is bad enough, but since it bears directly on the question of his truthfulness, it will be refuted on the spot. Irving's experts, on the other hand, are being called to testify on issues tangential to the case, and their twisted theories could well go unanswered. One expert, John Fox, the former editor of a British Holocaust journal, will probably argue that Lipstadt and the Jews are trying to shut down free discussion of the Holocaust. Irving's other expert is an American professor named Kevin MacDonald, whose ideas about Jews have almost no relevance to the case but represent the broadest, ugliest, and most vicious anti-Semitism passing for scholarship in this country today.
