Extractions: Main Posted by Amanda Marcotte at 10:04 PM From the comments of Feministing left by one of their misogynist trolls: If I'm looking to get laid, you would be my first pick. If I am looking to procreate, you would be very low on my list. The reason is very simple. Scientific research has shown over and over again that women have a tendency to attempt to mate with the most dominate male they can find, while attempting to have a more compliant male raise the resulting children. Also, when a woman is attempting to become pregnant, she often will mate with more than one male in order to maximize the probability of getting pregnant. This is the second time in two days I've seen someone in a comment thread who thinks he is an expert in biology that has asserted that men are programmed to fuck some women and have children with others. Let this be a lesson to all of you who want to wield your supposed great knowledge of evolution to beat feminists over the head with. If you don't know where babies come from, you have no business blathering on about biology. Filed: Boggles the Mind TrackBack URL for this entry:
Gestalt Therapy And Evolutionary Psychology An approach informed by evolutionary psychology, however, demands more skill in v studies human behavior both from an evolutionary psychological http://biology.unm.edu/Biology/pwatson/public_html/GTEP.htm
Extractions: A five-day residential workshop at Esalen Institute, Big Sur, California, USA October 12 th th Since 1964, Gestalt Therapy has been the seminal theory and technique in support of Esalen's quest to discover the limits of human ability, the boundaries of human experience, and what it means to be a human being. Gestalt proved an exciting way of implementing an experimental approach to discover what was possible. Through nearly four decades we have learned a lot. But what now? New doors have been opened by research in neuroscience, motivation, cross-species comparison, and especially, modern psychological applications of evolutionary biology. The revelations are startling. Familiar Gestalt techniques remain essential: group process, dialogic encounter, empty chair and hot seat, figure/ground, and the central role of awareness. An approach informed by evolutionary psychology, however, demands more skill in awareness techniques, offering challenging perspectives concerning the dynamism, bumpiness, and vastness of the awareness continuum. It re-examines implications of phenomenology, extends "Ground" back to the Stone Age, understands Self in relation to brain research, and experiments with new ways of viewing authentic honest behavior. We shall grapple experientially and intellectually with questions such as: Is our way of understanding the human mind in relation to others inhabiting nature merely anthropomorphic romanticism, or can important things be learned from cross-species psychological comparisons? Why do people often seem to be doing something different than what they say and feel they are doing? Why have humans evolved to encounter each other so radically intersubjectively? Can we make contact differently? What would be the point?
Extractions: You are here: BBC The Mind Natural selection and the theory of evolution Evolutionary psychology is inspired by the work of Charles Darwin and applies his ideas of natural selection to the mind. Darwin's theory argues that all living species, including humans, arrived at their current biological form through a historical process involving random inheritable changes. Some changes are adaptive, that is, they increase an individual's chances of surviving and reproducing. Changes of this kind are more likely to be passed on to the next generation (natural selection), while changes that hinder survival are lost. Survival of the fittest: the case of finches on the Galapagos Islands Natural selection is driven by changes in the environment. On the Galapagos Islands, the arrival of drought prompted evolutionary changes in the population of a species of finches. Only finches with larger body mass and thicker beaks survived the drought, because they were better adapted to cracking open the larger, tougher seeds that remained when other food sources disappeared. The finch population changed quite radically in a fairly short space of time, in response to the drastic changes in their environment.

My more specific interests include comparative studies of social diversity among related animal species, sex differences, parent-offspring relations, lethal violence, and the evolutionary consequences of uncertain paternity in animals with internal fertilization. I conduct research on both human and nonhuman behaviour, usually in collaboration with Margo Wilson. We do field and laboratory research on the behavioural ecology of desert rodents, and we do epidemiological studies of homicide, which we treat as a window on human passions and antagonisms and hence as a sort of assay of interpersonal conflict.

Extractions: References Psychology has been repeatedly accused of consisting of a disparate group of competing, irreconcilable, theories and practices. There is often too little contact between the clinical/applied psychologists who try to use psychological principles to improve our well being, and the experimentalists, who try to discover these principles. Even within these two major groups, there are often major disagreements with respect to theoretical and practical approaches. The American Psychological Association contains over 50 different divisions, each with its own governance structure. Staddon (1993) has stated that "If Psychology is a field it is a field of battle, where contending groups struggle for masterynot a coherent discipline" (p.9). The use of evolutionary theory as a unifying theoretical framework for Psychology is not a new idea. Darwin himself foretold this approach for Psychology in his 1859 book

The Sexual Competition Hypothesis For Eating Disorders Evolutionary science has made few inroads into psychiatry despite the fact that over 130 years have passed since Darwins Origin The hypothesis on eating disorders presented here is derived from the evolutionary theory of human sexuality. The present hypothesis is based upon the assumption that, besides shaping anatomical systems, selection also designs psychological and behavioural adaptations that are just as important for the organisms survival and reproductive success (Lorenz, 1937; Dawkins,1982). Hypothesis: The present hypothesis is based upon the following assumptions: 1. In the ancestral environment, the female shape was a generally reliable indicator of the females reproductive history and hence her future reproductive potential.
