Description

From the nature-nurture question, which has occupied philosophers and scientists for thousands of years, to recent debates about how the mind is structured, this text demonstrates how an evolutionist's perspective contributes to an understanding of what it is to be human and how we came to be so.

  • Just what kind of science is psychology? Plato's question
  • the revolution in our neighbour's house
  • the structure of the mind
  • prediction and mind-reading - the evolution of causal understanding
  • culture - one of the last great frontiers of science
  • promises of a marriage made in heaven.
