   Answers to frequently asked questions about evolutionary psychology.

   Extractions: This FAQ is written and maintained by Edward Hagen , formerly of the Center for Evolutionary Psychology, University of California, Santa Barbara, and now at the Institute for Theoretical Biology in Berlin. The FAQ assumes a basic knowledge of genes and natural selection. Its purpose is to outline the foundations of evolutionary psychology. These foundations are extremely robust (though not beyond criticism). The status of specific hypotheses (e.g., mate selection preferences, cheater detection modules) is more debatable, and will not be discussed in detail here. In addition, I address many of the common misconceptions about evolutionary psychology. This FAQ draws upon the work of many individuals. Comments and criticisms regarding it are welcome: e.hagen@biologie.hu-berlin.de . A Russian translation of this FAQ is also available. Frequently asked questions: What is evolutionary psychology?

This change results from interactions between processes that introduce variation into a population, and other processes that remove it. As a result, variants with particular traits become more, or less, common. A trait is a particular characteristic— anatomical biochemical or behavioural —that is the result of gene–environment interaction The main source of variation is mutation , which introduces genetic changes. These changes are

   Extractions: Positive ... e Evolutionary psychology EP ) explains psychological traits —such as memory perception , or language —as adaptations , that is, as the functional products of natural selection or sexual selection Adaptationist thinking about physiological mechanisms, such as the heart, lungs, and immune system, is common in evolutionary biology . Evolutionary psychology applies the same thinking to psychology. Modern evolutionary psychologists argue that much of human behavior is generated by psychological adaptations that evolved to solve recurrent problems in human ancestral environments. They hypothesize, for example, that humans have inherited special mental capacities for acquiring language, making it nearly automatic, while inheriting no capacity specifically for reading and writing. Other adaptations, according to EP, might include the abilities to infer others' emotions, to discern kin from non-kin, to identify and prefer healthier mates, to cooperate with others, and so on. Consistent with the theory of natural selection, evolutionary psychology sees organisms as often in conflict with others of their species, including mates and relatives. For example, mother mammals and their young offspring sometimes struggle over weaning, which benefits the mother more than the child. Humans, however, have a marked capacity for cooperation under certain conditions as well.

    Extractions: Welcome to the Evolutionary Astrology Network!  Here you will find the world of Evolutionary Astrology via the Jeffrey Wolf Green method. Evolutionary Astrology is a paradigm for understanding and sharing natural spiritual laws and principles in human consciousness through the language of astrology. Segment II - Relationships, Sexuality, Synastry Evolutionary Astrology is a term most popularized by the writings of Jeffrey Wolf Green. *  It embraces a paradigm, or body of knowledge that can be understood through observation and correlation, which measures the growth of a Soul from life to life. The principle of reincarnation underlies Evolutionary Astrology. Human consciousness evolves as it exhausts the separating desire nature and expands in conscious ways to include, share and give back as the Soul reconnects with Universal energy. This process is no less than the discovery of the Soul – past and present life as well as future potential. It is less a technical approach and more a philosophical outlook based in natural law and the expansion of human consciousness. The School of Evolutionary Astrology and our learn astrology online correspondence course helps guide the student through this process. Evolutionary Astrology includes a specific methodology that involves the planet Pluto and the Moon’s Nodes as representative of the Soul in any given birth chart.

    Extractions: He may not be wrong. It seems as if, some scientists and academics would agree. Evolutionary Theory of human attraction provides that interpersonal attraction occurs when someone has physical features indicating that he or she is very fertile. It is a simple theory that relies on the premise that the sole purpose of relationships is reproduction. Because of this people invest in partners who appear to be very "reproductive", which would naturally seem to increase the chance of their genes being passed down to the next generation.

15. Evolutionary Ethics
    A plausible theory of the integration of science and ethics. The Evolution of Ethics An Introduction to Cybernetic Ethics  
    http://evolutionaryethics.com/
    
    Extractions: Science and Ethics Evolutionary Ethics has no (necessary) logical connection to the formal ethics of philosophy. This is to say one does not need to know philosophy to know how ethics have come to be. The words "The Evolution of Ethics" could be more precisly stated as "The Evolution of Ethical Systems." Ethics is best described in scientific terms rather than the contigent and speculative terms of philosophy. Cybernetic Ethics Ethics merges with science in cybernetic ethics. This book presents a persuasive theory describing how ethics can (and should) be linked to science and mathematics. Here, there are objective moral standards* that can be derived from the consequences of human actions. The evolution of ethical systems is shown as an "adaptation." Humans adapt to survive and they do so by creating standards and rules of behavior to stop viscous cycles of pain, suffering and death. The more organized and efficient human activities become, the more certain the survival of the species becomes. The science of cybernetics best describes this process. Norbert Wiener first developed cybernetic science in 1947. In this book, cybernetics means "informational feedback in dynamic systems" (such as a social system) that sustains or redirects behaviors.

16. Behavior OnLine: Evolutionary Psychology
    Brief introduction to evolutionary psychology and sociobiology.  
    http://www.behavior.net/column/brody/
    
    Extractions: EVOLUTIONARY PSYCHOLOGY, SOCIOBIOLOGY, AND CLINICAL PHENOMENA James Brody, Ph.D. Adapted Mind , (Oxford, 1992) rests on assumptions that: the human mind is a mosaic of "information processing systems" that are extraordinarily efficient in handling specific kinds of stimuli and responses to them, human evolution has been generally static since the Pleistocene, these systems are "content specific" and generate many invariant aspects of human culture. There are problems and benefits with this view. EP would appear to share the same circular morass of the Instinct Crowd from decades ago. ("Why do we eat cheese?" "It's instinctive." "How do we know it's instinctive?" "Because so many of us do it.") There are two escapes: (1) EP will use hunter-gatherer hypotheses to generate predictions about unstudied, subtle aspects of human performance in cognitive and social tasks. (2) It also tries to weaken the circularity issue by specifying physiological systems that solve an adaptive problem. Rather than assuming the independent evolution of a dozen components that just happen to work well together, EP asks "What adaptive problem is solved? What physiological resources would be needed to solve it? Is it possible that visual and motor systems work so well because their interplay led to fuller bellies at some point long ago?"

    Extractions: Using traditional and contemporary Yogic, Tantric, and Somatic techniques, we learn to liberate, integrate, and celebrate the energy of Eros, which is the lifeblood of creation and transformation. Eros - from the Greek word for 'love' - is used here to mean our innate energy of creation and evolution manifesting as love, sensuality, sexuality, desire, yearning and longing for union. Through yoga postures, movement, breathing, sounding, touch, gazing, relaxation, meditation, and play we embody the energy of Eros, reclaiming innocence and developing maturity simultaneously.
