European Medical Journal"a very significant contribution to the field of evolutionary thinking on human psychology and culture." British Journal of Medical PsychologyResearchers have long been aware that the species-typical architecture of the human mind is the product of our evolutionary history, but it has only been in the last three decades that advances in such fields as evolutionary biology, cognitive psychology, and paleoanthropology have been made which have highlighted these changes.
