ADAPTING MINDS
Evolutionary Psychology and the Persistent Quest for Human Nature
David J. Buller
MIT Press, 2005
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: To understand the principles of evolution and their application to psychology; to understand the major paradigms of evolutionary psychology theorists such as the contention that human minds are adapted to the Pleistocene era, that males and females are primed to act differently in sex, that step-parents abuse their adopted children.
Readers should become familiar with Buller’s concept that the human mind is more like the immune system, adapting to changed circumstances rather than being trapped inexorably in the past.
David J.Buller is Professor of philosophy at Northern Illinois University and is active in the application of philosophy to problems of science, psychology and evolution.
