Psychologia evolutionaria est psychologiae pars quae vias aperit ad inveniendas causas evolutionarias morum natura ingeneratorum et facultatum mentalium. Qui enim in psychologia evolutionaria versatur, adaptationes sive proventus operativos selectione naturali et selectione sexuali paratos cognoscere studet. Adaptationistica de mechanismis physiologicis, sicut cordepulmonibussystemate immunitatis, opinio crebra apud biologos evolutionarios est. Nonnulli psychologi evolutionarii eandem cogitationem ad psychologiam transferunt, affirmantes menti esse structuram modularemcorpori similem, cui variae sunt adaptationes modulares variis finibus servientes. Psychologi evolutionarii multos mores humanos affirmant ex psychologicis provenisse adaptationibus, quae natae sunt ad solvendas difficultates in circumiecta proavorum recidentes.[2]
Sunt qui putent psychologiam evolutionariam omnino non esse psychologiae partem sed potius fundamentum metatheoreticum in theoria evolutionaria positum quod omnes partes inter se copulat et campum psychologiae in totum redigit non aliter quam biologia doctrina evolutionaria concinnata est.
