"EVOLUTIONARY PSYCHOLOGY AS THE LEANING TOWER OF PISA"

Abstract

Abstract. Evolutionary psychology has as its foundation the classical Darwinian-Wallace theory of evolution. Using this theory as a guideline, evolutionary psychologists have interpreted human behaviors from an adaptationist outlook using a circular logic wherein no matter what the behavior is being looked at it is always given an evolutionary rationale. Furthermore, there is evidence that the classical theory is flawed and competing scientific theories, particularly by German scientists, have been put forth to supplement it. As such, the author predicts that evolutionary psychology will become extinct as a subdiscipline.

 

 

 

Resumen

La psicología evolutiva tiene como su fundamento la teoría clásica de Darwin-Wallace de la evolución. Utilizando esta teoría como una guía, los psicólogos evolucionistas han interpretado comportamientos humanos desde una perspectiva de “adaptationist” utilizando una lógica circular en donde no importa lo que el comportamiento es que evaluaron, siempre se interpreta de una lógica evolutiva. Además, hay pruebas de que la teoría clásica es deficiente y las teorías científicas que compiten, sobre todo por los científicos alemanes, se han puesto a complementarlo. Como tal, el autor predice que Psicología evolutiva será extinto como subdisciplina.
