	Mixing Memory: Has Evolutionary Psychology Been Demolished? A Review of Buller, Chapter 4 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		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.
		Cosmides argues that the increased performance in the deontic version is due to the fact that it activates the cheater-detection module, and thus allows people to use domain-specific reasoning mechanisms to solve the task, whereas the descriptive version requires the use of domain-general reasoning mechanisms.
		Cosmides derives the hypothesis of a cheater-detection module from Trivers's argument that reciprocal altruism is evolutionarily unstable unless parties to reciprocal exchanges of benefits have the ability to detect when someone is taking a benefit from them without providing them with a benefit in return.

	Humanities 100 -- Lecture notes on Evolutionary Psychology
		In her 1985 PhD dissertation, the psychologist Leda Cosmides suggested that neither of these is the crucial difference; rather, she argued, the second case involves the detection of cheating with respect to a social contract.
		Cosmides argues that this kind of cheater-detection is something that people -- like other primates -- are very good at, and that we are good at it because it is important to us, not only individually but also collectively and historically.
		As Cosmides and Tooby have pointed out in more measured and carefully reasoned work, their viewpoint is strongly at variance with the viewpoint of most respectable 20th-century social scientists, and also most contemporary humanists.

		This thesis is devoted to examining Leda Cosmides and John Tooby’s use of evolutionary psychology as a heuristic framework for explaining human social behavior.
		Cosmides and Tooby are among the most vocal advocates of a now popular version of evolutionary psychology.
		They argue that the functional complexity of human reasoning can be best explained within the framework of adaptationism and that knowledge of the evolutionary environment of adaptiveness is essential to a scientifically satisfying explanation for why humans behave as they do.

		He or she didn't like the Tooby & 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.

	Consider the source: The evolution of adaptations for decoupling and metarepresentation
		Combinatorial explosion is the term for the fact that alternatives multiply with devastating rapidity in computational systems, and the less constrained the representational and procedural possibilities are, the faster this process mushrooms, choking computation with too many possibilities to search among or too many processing steps to perform.
		That is, the iterated conditions that the adaptation evolved to deal with must have extended over enough of the species range, and for an evolutionary period that was long enough to spread the underlying genes from their initial appearance as mutations to near universality.
		Some of the procedures are ecologically rational (Tooby and Cosmides, in press; Cosmides and Tooby 1996), that is, they correspond to licensed transformations in various adaptive logics (which may diverge substantially from licensed inferences in the content-independent formal logics developed so far by logicians).
