دانلود کتاب Evolutionary psychology : the new science of the mind

Psyches do not evolve; their inner differentiations, whose whole set is called "mind", indeed do. José Ingenieros, Christfried Jakob and Clemente Onelli started their serious study more than a century ago. Silenced by the political events abroad, though commnonly taught in the Iberoamerican neurobiology, their tenets became utterly ignored in the anglophone academy. It only recently re-discovered this field of research and, believing itself to be the "creator" of such a field, does nowadays proclaim worldwide its own supposed creativity and assumed inventiveness. (See "Diferencias entre neurociencias anglófonas y neurobiología", on Academia.edu, or "Mario Crocco" on LibGen). This book is a synthesis of such an anglophone stance that ignores its own roots.

"Two chapters introduce the foundations of evolutionary psychology. Chapter 1 traces
the scientific movements leading to evolutionary psychology. First, we describe the
landmarks in the history of evolutionary theory, starting with theories of evolution
developed before Charles Darwin and ending with modern formulations of evolutionary
theory widely accepted in the biological sciences today. Next, we examine three common
misunderstandings about evolutionary theory. Finally, we trace landmarks in the
field of psychology, starting with the influence Darwin had on the psychoanalytic theories
of Sigmund Freud and ending with modern formulations of cognitive psychology.

Chapter 2 provides the conceptual foundations of modern evolutionary psychology
and introduces the scientific tools used to test evolutionary psychological hypotheses.
The first section examines theories about the origins of human nature. Then we turn to
a definition of the core concept of an evolved psychological mechanism and outline the
properties of these mechanisms. The middle portion of Chapter 2 describes the major
methods used to test evolutionary psychological hypotheses and the sources of evidence
on which these tests are based. Because the remainder of the book is organized around
human adaptive problems, the end of Chapter 2 focuses on the tools evolutionary psychologists
use to identify adaptive problems, starting with survival and ending with the
problems of group living."
