David J. Buller: Adapting minds: Evolutionary psychology and the persistent Quest for human nature,
Philosophy of Science 73 (2):232-246 (2006)
| Abstract | David Buller's recent book, Adapting Minds, is a philosophical critique of the field of evolutionary psychology. Buller argues that evolutionary psychology is utterly bankrupt from both a theoretical and an empirical point of view. Although Adapting Minds has been well received in both the academic press and the popular media, we argue that Buller's critique of evolutionary psychology fails. | |||||||||
