« Fruits de l'évolution et de la sélection naturelle, nous avons gardé certains comportements et modes de pensée anciens, remontant à la préhistoire. Ils induisent des biais cognitifs qui peuvent encore avoir leur utilité - il vaut mieux prendre un bâton tordu pour un serpent que l'inverse -, mais ils viennent aussi fausser nos décisions quotidiennes, ou nous conduire à attribuer aux autres des pensées qu'ils n'ont pas. Les capacités cognitives de l'homme de Cro-Magnon, qui lui ont permis de constituer de grands groupes sociaux, nous ont menés à perfectionner nos capacités de coopération ... mais aussi de dissimulation et de tromperie. Introduction ludique à la psychologie évolutionniste, ce livre montre le face-à-face déroutant entre un "vieux" cerveau et une réalité en partie immuable mais souvent renouvelée. Appréhender les biais de notre psychologie est sans doute un atout pour se connaître et comprendre les autres. »-- 4ème de couverture.

This work does not profess to be a treatise on the subject of feeling, but merely a series of studies, and rather tentative ones at that. I have attempted to deduce from the standpoint of biologic evolution the origin and development of feeling, and then to consider how far introspection confirms these results. I am well aware that I traverse moot points-what points in psychology are not moot?-and I trust that the position taken will receive thorough criticism. I should be very glad to have new facts adduced, whatever way they may bear. I have no theory to defend, but the results offered are simply the best interpretation I have as yet been able to attain.

The nature/nurture question is an age-old problem. 'Beyond Evolutionary Psychology' deals with the relation between culture, evolution, psychology and emotion, based both in the underlying biology, determined by our evolutionary heritage, and in the interaction of our brain with the physical, ecological and social environment, based in the key property of brain plasticity. Ellis and Solms show how the brain structures that underlie cognition and behaviour relate to each other through developmental processes guided by primary emotional systems. This makes very clear which brain modules are innate or 'hard-wired', and which are 'soft-wired' or determined through environmental interactions. The key finding is that there can be no innate cognitive modules in the neocortex, as this is not possible on both developmental and genetic grounds; in particular there can be no innate language acquisition device. This is essential reading for students and scholars of evolutionary psychology and evolutionary biology--
