, 1. Introduction to evolutionary psychology
1.1 The origins of evolutionary psychology
modern evolutionary theory
- we are not necessarily the beneficiaries of our own behaviour: the beneficiaries of behaviour
are, in many cases, our genes
- the individual is merely an ephemeral and transient bit-player in the theatre of existence,
acting out a script that was not of his/her writing, a script written in the language of the genes
- so our genes aren't for our benefit, we are for their benefit
- this only applies to evolved behaviour (organs); any behaviour which has not evolved (e.g.
purely learned behaviour) may not benefit genes at all; deciding exactly which behaviours are
evolved and which are not (and which are a bit of both) is a difficult task
1.2 A history of evolutionary thinking
1.2.1 Evolution before Darwin
ancient history of evolution
- Thales (624-545 BC): ancient Greek philosopher; tried to explain the origins of life in terms of
natural as opposed to supernatural terms; he proposed that life 'evolved' out of simpler
elements with the most basic element, from which all else ultimately derived, being water
- Empedocles (495-435 BC): another Ancient Greek; suggested that in the beginning, the world
was full of bodily organs which occasionally came together and joined up, driven by the
impelling force of Love; the results of most of these unions were 'monstrosities' and died out,
but a minority were successful and went to reproduce, producing copies of themselves
- Aristotle (384-322 BC): seemingly killed off evolutionary thinking for some time by proposing
that each species occupied a particular space in a hierarchical structure known as the Great
Chain of Being or scala naturae
Aristotle and the Christian religion
- in the Aristotle scheme, which was later adopted by the Christian religion, God occupied the
topmost rung of the ladder followed by angels, then the nobility (males then females), then
ordinary men, ordinary women, animals, plants and finally inanimate objects; moving from
one rung to another was not permitted which meant that there was a natural order of things
- Aristotle's view was not merely descriptive (describing the way the world is) but was also
prescriptive (this was deemed to be the way the world should be) so any change to the
