ABSTRACT
Evolutionary psychology(EP), one of three perspectives of evolutionary social science that are reactions to old school sociobiology, has established a strong research tradition since its inception. However, there also have been sloppy EP researches that are criticized by other disciplines including other evolutionary social scientists. Most criticisms stem from the mismatch between EP’s core assumption and recent findings from related disciplines such as genetics, developmental biology, archeology, evolutionary biology, neuroscience and other evolutionary social sciences. EP’s key assumption that natural selection has shaped human mind during hominin evolution and it explains much of current human behavior is not wrong. However, all human behavior cannot be explained by past adaptation. Contrarily, genetic evolution can be very fast and between group diversity due to culture and developmental process is typically larger than between group genetic variation. In this paper, I give five suggestions based on current findings from related disciplines that EP can use to overcome its shortcomings.
