Algunos presupuestos teóricos detrás de la psicología evolucionista y sus críticos

an important assumption in the recent cognitive psychology is that the studies of how the human beings reason should take evolutionary ideas into account. the evolutionary psychology is a theoretic project that shares this assumption. in this paper, i critically examine this psychological project. after presenting some of the central hypotheses defended by evolutionary psychologists, i will explore some objections to them. my purpose, however, is not assessing criticisms of evolutionary psychology, but to show some assumptions behind the debate between evolutionary psychologists and their critics.
