Maybe It's Time - Evolutionary Psychology and More . . .

Here are more links from Bookforum's Omnivore blog. This collection begins with a series of articles from the journal, Evolutionary Psychology. It's easy to dismiss this newer field of psychology as reductionist, since their primary agenda is to understand human behavior within an evolutionary context, a move that often reduces human complexity to what Dawkins called "the selfish gene."

While there is more than that to human behavior and experience, there are also a few folks in this camp who are not completely reductionist, so there is hope for evolutionary psychology as a field of study.


Maybe it's time
