Evolutionary psychology has been dominated by one particular method
for studying the mind and behavior. This is the first book to both
question that monopoly and suggest a broad range of particular
alternatives. Psychologists, philosophers, biologists,
anthropologists, and others offer different methods for combining
psychology and evolution. They recommend specific changes to
evolutionary psychology using a wide variety of theoretical
assumptions. In addition, some essays analyze the underpinnings of the
dominant method, relate it to the context of evolutionary and
psychological theory and to general philosophy of science, and discuss
how to test approaches to evolutionary psychology. The aim of this
collection is not to reject evolutionary psychology but to open up new
vistas which students and researchers can use to ensure that
evolutionary psychology continues to thrive.
