	Templeton Research Lectures - CSRC ASU
		John Tooby is best known for his work in pioneering the new field of evolutionary psychology, along with Templeton Research co-Fellow Leda Cosmides.
		Tooby uses cross-cultural, experimental, and neuroscience techniques to investigate specific cognitive specializations for cooperation, group psychology, and human reasoning.
		Tooby and Cosmides received the NIH Director’s Pioneer Award and were named Templeton Research co-Fellows by Arizona State University in 2006.

	UCSB Anthropology Faculty--Tooby
		Tooby is co-director of UCSB's Center for Evolutionary Psychology, where Tooby and his collaborators use cross-cultural, experimental, and neuroscience techniques to investigate specific cognitive specializations for cooperation, coalitions, group psychology, and human reasoning.
		Under Tooby's direction, the Center maintains a field station in Ecuadorian Amazonia in order to conduct cross-cultural studies of psychological adaptations and human behavioral ecology.
		Tooby is also working on several projects in evolutionary biology, including a book on the evolution of sexual reproduction and genetic systems that interprets their design features as a series of adaptations to parasitic infections.

	Slate -- Reply to Tooby & Shulevitz
		Tooby appears to believe that it is his personal intellectual property.
		While Tooby and Cosmides focus exclusively on domain-specific psychological adaptations designed to solve recurrent problems in our evolutionary past, I emphasize in addition the importance of domain-general mechanisms, especially the g-factor of IQ tests, that facilitate the achievement of biological goals in complex, non-recurrent environments.
		Tooby will have to do a lot more than simply issue ex cathedra pronouncements that between-group competition has not been an important aspect of human evolution and that historically between-group competition is irrelevant to understanding some examples of Jewish/gentile relations.

	Response to John Tooby
		Tooby is also mistaken when he writes, "You'd think that Tierney's book, 10 years in the making, might mention the relevant and easily discoverable fact that 'live attenuated vaccine has never been shown to be transmissible from a recipient to a subsequent contact.'" My book does mention that--twice on one page.
		Tooby writes that I never acknowledge that other tribes have higher levels of violence than the Yanomami and that I do not credit Napoleon Chagnon with his admission of this fact.
		Tooby claims that my identification of nine villages of the twelve in Chagnon's famous homicide study is trivial, since Chagnon himself identified them all.

	Evolutionary Psychology: Annotated Bibliography
		Tooby and Cosmides conclude from it that all genetic variation in human populations either underlies non-adaptive traits or is restricted to adaptive traits at the biochemical level only.
		Tooby and Cosmides argue that, even when contemporary human behavior is adaptive, it is due to the operation of underlying behavior control mechanisms.
		Tooby and Cosmides here argue that cognitive neuroscience is actually a branch of evolutionary biology, so cognitive neuroscientists should allow their research to be informed by contemporary evolutionary theory.

	Leif Edward Ottesen Kennair reviews Evolutionary Explanations of Human Behaviour by John Cartwright
		Cartwright surprises, or to be honest he shocks me, by almost totally avoiding mentioning Cosmides and Tooby, not listing a single of their papers in the references, and misrepresenting them in the few sentences he offers on them.
		I believe Tooby and Cosmides would be surprised to hear that they should believe that the mind is born fully formed.
		Also, the very strange exclusion of references to the work of Leda Cosmides, John Tooby and Steven Pinker opens for the possibility that a student may complete a course on EP and not actually have heard of these theoreticians.

	Mixing Memory: Has Evolutionary Psychology Been Demolished? A Review of Buller, Chapter 4
		The second, which is generally associated with Leda Cosmides, John Tooby, David Buss, and Steven Pinker, includes only those evolutionary psychologists who adhere to a certain set of tenets, including massive modularity, assumptions about the "environment of evolutionary adaptedness" (or the EEA), and a belief that the modern mind evolved in the EEA.
		To see why it's important to critique the work of Cosmides and Tooby in order to show how misguided EP really is, it's important to understand the goals of EP, and how Cosmides and Tooby's work is integral to the accomplishment of those goals.
		Evolutionary psychology--in its ambitious version well formulated by Cosmides and Tooby (e.g., Cosmides and Tooby 1987, Tooby & Cosmides 1992)--will succeed to the extent that it causes cognitive psychologists to rethink central aspects of human cognition in an evolutionary perspective, to the extent, that is, that psychology in general becomes evolutionary.

	[No title]
		As Cosmides and Tooby themselves note, there's a problem with using "learning" as an explanation: Advocates of the Standard Social Science Model have believed for nearly a century that they have a solid explanation for how the social world inserts organization into the psychology of the developing individual.
		In this sense, Cosmides and Tooby's critique of learning might also be leveled at the catch-all notion of innateness.
		As Cosmides and Tooby argue and Pinker agrees, this has led many anthropologists either to deny any "human nature" exists, or to declare the search for universals as unavoidably an exercise in Western ethnocentrism.

	How To Deal With Fringe Academics By Judith Shulevitz and John Tooby
		If you happen to believe that those particular ideas are true, then, given that they've been used to justify slaughter in the past and could be so used again, it is your moral obligation to proceed very, very carefully trying to dissociate your ideas from such uses.
		(See these postings by MacDonald reviewer John Hartung, group selection theorist David Sloan Wilson, John Horgan, and Steven Pinker.) Some have suggested that MacDonald's work deserves to be taken seriously, that there may well be something to it.
		For this "Dialogue," Slate has asked John Tooby, an eminent evolutionary psychologist and the president of the HBES, to discuss these issues with Judith Shulevitz.

		In this paper, Kurzban, Tooby, and Cosmides examine the idea that there is an evolved mechanism for detecting and perceiving individuals as members of coalitions/alliances, and that racial awareness is a biproduct of this perceeption.
		The paper also ties into recent findings on the evolved logic of anger and discusses the ability of cognative machinery to identify the objects to which moral emotions may apply.

		He or she didn't like the Tooby and Cosmides chapters whereas I feel they were by far the most interesting chapters in the book.
		A prime example of this last vice are 2 of the editors themselves, namely Tooby and Cosmides in their introduction article, which sadly clutters the book for already 130 of its about 600 pages.
		To me, they seem to be a prime example of investigators that badly need to step back for a while from their work, to free their minds and maybe become a little bit more open for contrasting views.

		Hence all that appears distinctive about human beings - culture, language, morality, reason - is not in fact that exceptional, and can be understood in the same way as can all natural phenomena.
		As John Tooby and Leda Cosmides, two of the founders of evolutionary psychology, put it, 'Human minds, human behaviour, human artefacts, and human culture are all biological phenomena.'
		A second expression of the retreat from exceptionalism are the anxieties about the ways in which science, and biotechnology in particular, robs us of our humanity.

		Plasticity refers to a sensitivity to external conditions, and an ability to tailor the particular path to a set goal according to the state of the environmental conditions.
		Cosmides and Tooby suggest that behaviour is the outcome of three types of mechanisms.
		But as the evolutionary biologist John Maynard Smith asks, 'What is the "I" that holds this view if not "persistent" (she will still believe it tomorrow), "conscious" (she would not write about it otherwise) and "inner" (where else could it be?).'

	What is Evolutionary Psycholgy?
		At the core of evolutionary psychology is the belief that all humans on the planet have innate areas in their brains which have specific knowledge that help them adapt to local environments.
		In the field of evolutionary psychology, much is owed to the anthropologist John Tooby and the psychologist Leda Cosmides.
		To Tooby and Cosmides, this failure to view the science of biology in psychology was due primarily to humankind's attempt to be kind and "politically correct" that influenced the social norms that moved society in the 60s and 70s.
