Evolutionary Psychology: Volume II de Neil Levy

Evolutionary Psychology: Volume II: The International Library of Essays on Evolutionary Thought

Autor Neil Levy Editat de Stefan Linquist
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 iul 2010
Evolutionary approaches to the study of human beings have been able to explain the origin and maintenance of many of the features of our bodies. Many thinkers believe that an evolutionary approach will be equally fruitful when it comes to explaining the features of our minds. Since our behaviour is driven by our minds, our cognitive dispositions and processes are likely to have been a target of selection and adaptation. This volume collects recent prominent explorations of this theme, as well as the voices of dissenters who argue that our minds are far more significantly the product of culture than of evolution.

Descriere

The articles in this volume consider evolutionary approaches to the study of human minds and consider whether our cognitive dispositions and processes are likely to have been a target of selection and adaptation. The volume includes recent prominent explorations of this theme, as well as the voices of dissenters who argue that our minds are far more significantly the product of culture than of evolution.
