ADHD Frequently Asked Questions Smooth Talkers 22 March 2000 Evolutionary psychology explains why humans are attracted to verbally skilled partners. When men and women are seeking a potential life partner there are several different factors that will influence the decision making process. One of the most important is actually how well a person presents themselves verbally. Whilst other factors include the more obvious physical appeal of a partner and a similar sense of humour. Evolutionary psychologist, Dr. Geoffrey Miller - author of the book "The Mating Mind" - has been researching why verbal skills are so important in this equation. His studies involve humans and various species of animals. His conclusions found that the main factors human, males and females, were looking for in verbal skills were the correct use of grammar, and the ability to use varied and uncommon words. Dr. Miller found that in the same way that good looks can be an indicator of health - and therefore the increased possibility of healthy children - verbal skills are one of the best indicators of intelligence - which, in turn, are a very good indicator of status, and the ability to be a good parent.

An earlier version of this article was published, in English , Catalan, and Castilian in the webbed journal Indret Economics and Evolutionary Psychology Evolutionary psychology offers a challenge to the rationality assumption, since it provides us with a theory of mistakes. In this essay I sketch out the nature of that theory, describe some puzzles that economics has a difficult time explaining, and try to show how modifying economics with the aid of evolutionary psychology might help explain them. Evolutionary Psychology: The Short Version Evolutionary psychology starts from two simple assumptions: The human mind is best understood not as a general purpose computer but as a set of specialized software modules, each designed to deal with a particular subset of problems. Those programs have been designed, by Darwinian evolution, to produce reproductive success in the hunter-gatherer environment in which our species spent most of its species history. Researchers in evolutionary psychology, starting with these assumptions, have generated and tested predictions ranging from differences in male and female abilities to the timing of morning sickness. What Evolutionary Psychology Adds Evolutionary psychology implies two modifications to the rationality assumption. The first is an increase in its precision. Economists assume that individuals have objectives, but economic theory does not tell us what those objectives are, although real world economists do have at least some idea, based on observation and introspection, of what they are likely to be. Evolutionary biologists, on the other hand, know what the objective of genes

Corrections Flameproof racism On the Evolutionary Psychology mailing list, dangerous ideas thrive without the usual online rancor and hatred. By Andrew Brown Are blacks programmed by their genes to be promiscuous? Can we read any morality off our genes at all? Is religion pernicious nonsense? The field of evolutionary psychology attempts to illuminate such inquiries into human nature with the insights of modern Darwinism. It raises questions that have a prickly, intense and scary quality. To get inside them is like putting on a hair shirt with explosives strapped to it. Even in sober academic journals, the discussion can rapidly become a screaming match. On the Internet, home of the flame, any attempt at a reasonable discussion seems completely futile. Even respectable academic online mailing lists often melt down into reciprocal accusations of Nazism and censorship, as did the mailing list of the Human Biology and Evolution Society, the trade body for evolutionary psychologists, five years ago.

E volutionary Psychology 1. What Is Evolutionary Psychology? The term "evolutionary psychology" is sometimes used simply as "a shorthand for 'psychological theorizing informed by modern evolutionary theory'" (Daly & Wilson , p. 7), a shorthand for "understanding the human mind/brain mechanisms in evolutionary perspective" (Buss , p. 3). This portrays evolutionary psychology as a field of inquiry , which is so broad as to cover work ranging from studies of the optimality of foraging and birth spacing in hunter-gatherer societies to studies of encephalization (the progressive increase in brain size relative to body size in the human lineage) and the evolution of altruism and language. This broad range of work varies significantly in fundamental theoretical and methodological commitments, and it is united only by a very general commitment to the idea that human cognition, emotion, and behavior can be understood from an evolutionary perspective. Many researchers in this field often deliberately resist the "evolutionary psychology" label, however, preferring to classify their work as, for example, human sociobiology, human ethology, human behavioral ecology, or evolutionary anthropology. The reason is that the term "evolutionary psychology" is increasingly being used to designate only work conducted within a specific set of theoretical and methodological commitments shared by a prominent and influential group of researchers (most notably the psychologists David M. Buss, Leda Cosmides, and Steven Pinker and the anthropologists Donald Symons and John Tooby). This group is united in the belief that adoption of an evolutionary perspective on human psychology immediately entails a number of very specific theoretical and methodological commitments. These commitments have been forcefully articulated in two important manifestos (Barkow, Cosmides, and Tooby's

Evolutionary Psychology and Sociology by Chris Lucas "Psychology has a long past, but only a short history." Hermann Ebbinghaus, Abriss der Psychologie (Summary of Psychology), 1908 Introduction Human beings are part animal, and like most animals we have at birth a large number of abilities. These abilities do not relate to learning or experience since at that stage we have none. They do relate to genetics and the development of our body and brain, based upon self-organizational processes. What these are and what abilities and biases they give us at birth is the subject of Evolutionary Psychology, which we introduce here. This field is not directly a complexity specialism but has much in common with the general themes studied in complexity. Unlike many animals, human babies are born premature and do not complete their natal development for perhaps a year after birth, so it is not so apparent that babies do already have many abilities as a result of their genetic past. We have only however to look at the genetic similarity between humans and other species (over 98% DNA common with the apes) to realise that whatever abilities such animals have at birth we potentially have also. This means that we do not start life as a 'tabula rasa' or blank state as so many assume, but already programmed with a set of hidden assumptions about the world and predispositions to process data and to act in certain instinctive ways. Three Natures On top of our genetic behavioural inheritance we add, as we grow up, two further
