Preferred term

evolutionary psychology  

Definition(s)

  • Evolutionary psychology is the study of human psychological and physical behavior produced by natural selection (Manstead & Hewstone, 1995). The use of Darwinian ideas to describe human behaviors suggests that all human actions are for survival purposes and have evolved over time (Cardwell, 1996).
