심리학에서의 진화적 사고: 짧은 역사

Quotes

This book is not a history of the evolutionary psychology of the last twenty years or so, and nor is it a survey of contemporary evolutionary psychology. The systematic analysis of psychological process and mechanism from an evolutionary perspective, and its accompanying empirical program, is very recent-too recent for an historical account. It is simply impossible to know with certainty what will prove to be the important and enduring concepts and findings and what are the trivial, if sensational. …

So what is presented in the following pages is a broad history of evolutionary thought within psychology, and not a detailed history of evolutionary psychology itself as it has appeared over the last two decades.
