I love the idea of evolutionary psychology.. Because a lot of mental stuff that went on "way back when," if it was consistently effective/successful, occurring over long enough period of time, may have evolved some behavioral dna spcific to that successful behavior.. We're starting to understand how prehistoric nutrition and eating behavior still has some effect on our physical bodies.. Makes sense that there might be some useful understandings gained from consistent ancient behaviors and thinking tendencies.. For instance, I think we're almost helplessly programmed (via genetic material etc) to be religious, regardless of our rational thinking..
Most pre-agriculture humans were polyandrous. Monogamy is a relatively recent society adaptation to the creation of private property and inheritance. Its not likely that jealousy evolved within only some thousands of years when it would likely take millions of years for such an advanced psychological emotion to develop.
You probably dont give a shit but if you are stoned like me atm then you can stream pretty much all of the latest series on instaflixxer. I've been streaming with my gf for the last couple of days xD
Yes, many societies practiced this, but many people have a natural predisposition to attractions to small groups of people for friendship/romance. It may have been practiced by some, but other people likely raised a family together with their mate, which is common in nature. Even in nomadic native American peoples, marriages were strong societal institutions in many tribes
@@GabeNicholson i dont know how many introverts, etc people you know, but in my experience, they usually keep only a small amount of close people as ties, which usually also includes family members. Even in nature. Where there isn't as much of a concept for land rights and inheritance "terrirtory" many animals mate for life. Some people prefer to be with one person, others would like to mate with several. There have been studies that support the original commentary position, but my stance is that it is based on the individual, their experience, their family, and their local culture
At 4:45 someone asked how evolutionary psychology explains the existence of homosexuality. The explanation can be found here: ua-cam.com/video/4Khn_z9FPmU/v-deo.html
I'm curios about his operational definition of murder. It just seems that many murders committed for personal reasons rather than for payment or allegiances would be men killing women that appear vulnerable to physical attacks or coercion. However, if I were to think of war, the ratio "mostly men killing men" sounds accurate while the motives are varied, obscured, sometimes ridiculous. So I can't even make a decent guess at his operational definition of murder.
The statistics - generalised across the world - don't agree with this stance. Men kill men in significantly higher numbers than men kill women. While they do make up the largest portion of Rape / Sexual Assault, we must also remember that in a lot of western countries, men cannot be 'raped' under law, rather 'only' sexually assaulted, so such figures are heavily skewed. Men are predominantly physically violent, this is true and I don't think anyone could argue this. Though I would argue that women utilise psychological warfare (and in more modern history, especially last 20-30 years) women too are becoming increasingly violent (I speak for the West only here).
I've bitten the evolutionary dust and couldn't be happier about that decision.
same.
Fantastic. Great to hear the master talk.
His comments on men murdering men is soo interesting. I’ve never thought of things like that.
Yeah I can confidently say most of the problems I’m aware of are caused by men haha.
Very interesting video! Makes me wonder more about evolutionary psychology.
I, too, don't recommend stalking
Very interesting subjects, i'll definitely look into some of Dr. David Buss's other interviews, i like his way of explaining things.
i liked this video...thanks doctors
Very interesting!

Huge resource with evolutionary psychology, in terms of workable theories to apply to forensics, as they touch on here..

Thats not true. Where is the evidence for that? Because there is evidence against both your points.

So that is what Freddie Mercury meant by "Another ones bites the dust"😂
He has some really big hands! I bet everyone in his family does. No wonder he knows so much about mating.

mamas baby, papas maybe, (Paternity uncertainty) psychological design of jealousy is different in men and women
