Sinopsis
Like our chimpanzee cousins, we, the naked apes, have evolved to flourish in our surroudings - a cultural environment largely of our own creation. For the human race, the critical evolution of the past million years has been the evolution of our minds. Yet, the author argues, that psychology, the very science that purports to understand us, has long been deeply ambivalent about Darwin's unsettling discoveries. He describes a reapproachment called "evolutionary psychology". He examines how such a powerful theory, as Darwinism could have been disregarded by much academic psychology and shows why the relationship between the two must be readdressed. The theory and data of evolutionary biology and animal behaviour can illuminate many of our most basic mental processes and activities: language learning, perception, social understanding, and culture - the sharing of knowledge and beliefs. Ranging from nature-nurture to recent debates about the mind's structure, the book demonstrates how an evolutionary perspective helps to understand what we are, and how we got that way.

Críticas
"Henry Plotkin's "Evolution in Mind" is the sensible face of evolutionary psychology. While sanguine about the promise of evolutionary psychology, he avoids much of the eulogizing tone that characterizes other introductory tests. His account is strong on the history of psychology, on tracing the emergence of evolutionary psychology, and his examples of the current work of evolutionary psychologists is largely limited to ones that have a strong and prolonged set of results to support them." -- Terence Sullivan "Metapsychology" (01/12/2001) limited to ones that have a strong and prolonged set of results to support them."
