About this Quote

This quote by Steven Pinker recommends that evolutionary psychology is among four sciences that are helping to re-establish the value of humanity in the scientific neighborhood. Evolutionary psychology is a field of study that takes a look at how evolutionary procedures have actually shaped human behavior and cognition. It is carefully associated to other fields such as sociology, biology, and psychology. By looking at how our forefathers adapted to their environment, evolutionary psychologists can get insight into how our habits and cognition have actually been formed by our evolutionary history. The other 3 sciences that Pinker discusses are most likely to be associated with evolutionary psychology, and are likely to be assisting to bring human nature back into the clinical conversation. These sciences may include fields such as evolutionary biology, genetics, and neuroscience. By taking a look at the evolutionary history of humans, these sciences can assist to discuss why we behave the method we do and how our behavior has been shaped by our environment.
