Scholars of international relations (IR) and evolution pay little attention to each others fields. However, there is a need to examine evolutions impacts in IR. International actors such as nations are made up of people, so evolved human nature has...Loe edasi...
This pathbreaking Element will attempt to apply insights from evolutionary biology, evolutionary psychology, neuroscience, and archaeogenetics to IR. Among such insights are the evolved role of emotions in decision-making, intergroup competition as a...Loe edasi...
In recent years we have come to understand better the forces that have shaped biological evolution over the course of time. Evolved purposiveness (teleonomy) in living systems themselves has been an important influence. Cooperative effects (synergie...Loe edasi...

This Element provides a framework for understanding the evolution of the brain systems that enable innovation and novel learning and how these systems can act on human cognitive universals, such as language, to create evolutionarily novel abilities,...Loe edasi...

Humans have an extraordinary ability to create evolutionarily novel knowledge, such as writing systems and mathematics. This accumulated knowledge over several millennia supports large, dynamic societies that now require children to learn this novel...Loe edasi...
Positive psychology is a thriving field with increasing political influence, yet there are few evolutionary studies that have had a tangible impact on rethinking mechanisms of well-being. This Element reviews existing literature and proposes synthesi...Loe edasi...

This Element builds on the mainstream theory of attachment and contemporary understanding of the environment of evolutionary adaptedness to address the origin and nature of infant-maternal bond formation. Sections 2 and 3 propose that attachment beha...Loe edasi...
This Element shows the understanding of ancestral environments to address the origins of infant-maternal attachment as a species-wide affectional bond. Breastfeeding behaviors are governed by infant bio-behavioral maturation, resulting in platforms f...Loe edasi...
Gossiping and its reputation effects are viewed as the most powerful mechanism to sustain cooperation without the intervention of formal authorities. Being virtually costless, gossiping is highly effective in monitoring and sanctioning norm violators...Loe edasi...

This Element argues that gossiping is the most powerful mechanism to sustain cooperation without formal intervention. Propositions on cultural, structural, dispositional, situational, and technological gossip antecedents and consequences are develope...Loe edasi...
This Element has a more hopeful prescription for a new global social contract. It is based on the many examples of superorganisms – socially organized species – in the natural world, and in evolution. As evidence of our global survival crisis...Loe edasi...
Positive Evolutionary Psychology is dedicated to the integration of positive and evolutionary psychology, with an eye toward using Darwinian-inspired concepts to help advance our understanding of human thriving. Over the past few decades, evo...Loe edasi...
Children growing up in harsh environments may develop intact, or even enhanced, skills for solving problems in high-adversity contexts (i.e., hidden talents). This Element proposes that stress-adapted skills represent a form of adaptive intelligenc...Loe edasi...
Various public health strategies to promote breastfeeding have been developed and implemented for over four decades, yet progress has stagnated, and exclusive breastfeeding rates remain low globally. An evolutionary perspective directs us to consider...Loe edasi...
