		The main sources of evolutionary psychology are: cognitive psychology, genetics, ethology, anthropology, biology, and zoology.
		Evolutionary psychology has been applied to the study of many fields, including economics, aggression, law, psychiatry, politics, literature, and sex.
		Evolutionary psychology is based on the presumption that since cognitive processes have structure that seems to be widely or even universally shared amongst humans, that structure must have a genetic basis, and therefore must have developed under the influence of evolution and natural selection.

	Evolutionary psychology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Evolutionary psychology is closely linked to sociobiology, but there are key differences between them including the emphasis on domain-specific rather than domain-general faculties, the relevance of measures of current fitness, the importance of mismatch theory, and psychology rather than behaviour.
		Evolutionary psychologists use knowledge of the environment of evolutionary adaptedness to generate hypotheses regarding possible psychological adaptations and subsequently these hypotheses can be tested and evaluated against the empirical evidence in just the same way that any other hypothesis generated from any other theoretical perspective can be assessed.
		Evolutionary psychology commits to a very specific causal relationship between the mind and the environment in which its design was selected, making it a source of highly specific, concrete, and falsifiable predictions.

	Evolutionary Psychology - Psychological Aspects of Human Evolution
		Evolutionary psychology is an approach to psychology, in which knowledge and principles from evolutionary biology are put to use in research on the structure of the human mind.
		To understand evolutionary psychology, it is necessary to have a basic understanding of genes, inheritance, and the principles of natural selection (go to the 4 principles of natural selection).
		Whilst it has been long recognized that human morphology is a function of evolutionary selection, it is only more recently that human behavior and consciousness have come to be examined in light of their evolutionary adaptivity (Panksepp and Panksepp, 2000).

	Definition of Evolutionary psychology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Evolutionary psychology or (EP) proposes that human and primate cognition and behavior could be better understood by examining them in light of human and primate evolutionary history.
		Evolutionary psychology is based on the presumption that, just like hearts, lungs, livers, kidneys, and immune systems, cognition has functional structure that has a genetic basis, and therefore evolved by natural selection.
		Most evolutionary psychological research is thus confined to certainties about the past, such as the fact that women got pregnant and men did not, and that humans lived in groups.

	Great Ideas in Personality--Evolutionary Psychology
		Evolutionary psychology is an evolutionary approach to human nature.
		Sociobiology (of which evolutionary psychology is a subfield that particularly concerns humans) can be thought of as having, like any research program, a "hard core" of problem solving strategies that provide possible answers to vexing research questions, and a "protective belt" of promising research questions to be addressed by providing actual answers to these questions.
		This paper claims that evolutionary psychology represents an improvement over its forerunner, sociobiology, in that evolutionary psychology does not foreswear the mental, and does not aim to map human nature.

		DDB: Evolutionary psychology represents a theoretical synthesis of the principles of modern evolutionary theory with principles of modern psychology.

		BC: Why does evolutionary psychology evoke such strong reactions in people? I’ve noted that when I discuss basic principles with those who have never heard of it before I am met with either enthusiasm or anger. There seems to be little in between. Why might this be so? You are the perfect person to ask.

		Psychology will be based on a new foundation, that of the necessary acquirement of each mental power and capacity by gradation." Thirty years later, William James tried to do just that in his seminal book, Principles of Psychology, one of the founding works of experimental psychology (James, 1890).
		Three decades of progress and convergence in cognitive psychology, evolutionary biology, and neuroscience have shown that this view of the human mind is radically defective.

		For future reference, like "Freudian" and "behaviorist," "evolutionary psychologist" describes a commitment to a specific theoretical stance--one, as it turns out, that MacDonald violently disagrees with, and so he cannot qualify as an evolutionary psychologist (see Note 3).

		While most evolutionary psychology has focused on equilibrium-maintenance adaptations such as cheater-detection and reciprocity, these equilibrium-selection adaptations are a major overlooked component of social psychology, theory of mind, and human morality.
		We argue that the charge of unfalsifiability centers around two claims: (1) The basic principles of modern evolution theory that are employed by evolutionary psychologists are said to be unfalsifiable, and (2) the specific evolutionary psychology models and hypotheseswhich are drawn from these principles are said to be unfalsifiable.
		Evolutionary theory is used here to provide a conceptual clarification needed to further explore whether, as Bowlby (1969) suggested, continuity of insecure attachment relationships develop through disrupted attachments and prolonged distortions of the "attachment process," between a child and caregiver, biasing an individual’s idiosyncratic social expectations.
