What is too often forgotten about evolutionary psychology (EP) is that it came into being from frustration that social psychologists had drifted too far away...
Territorial behaviour is an elaboration of lek behaviour (which are homologous with dominance behaviour). Clearly, holding a central position in a lek does not...
Well that would be one more major social deficiency to add to the list then, Leif. I'm not interested in subsets of abnormal individuals, except how they might...
And, of course, the corollary of Jay's remark is that his position may be seen to smack of the behaviourism that so blighted psychology before an evolutionary...
On Judith Hand's recommendation, I read the book, Beyond War: The Human Potential for Peace, by Douglas Fry (Oxford U. Press 2007). I recommend the book for...
Can anyone cite a reference for a (primate) study that shows adult sex-typical behaviour despite no peer interaction during rearing? Thre is a study on rhesus...
I have been doing research comparing the sex attitudes of male and female Hispanic college students. Below is a recent unpublished article. Feedback is...
Further to the discussion re territory or 'good genes' as the criteria for female mate choice ..... Even if females are choosing a territory (or a resource on...
Hello Russell, Thank you for posting your draft of an article for comments. I posted your article, "Comparing Sex Attitudes of Hispanic Males and Females:...
Steve Moxon: Even if females are choosing a territory (or a resource on it), and therefore only indirectly choosing the male; this is still a case of choosing...

The natural life history of any orangutan in the wild, as they are solitary. A single offspring is raised just by the mother until the offspring leave the...
That doesn't sound like a book I'll buy. Thanks for the review. Aggressive behavior either on an individual or group level is a facultative phenotype....
Looks like we'll have to simply disagree on this one. You have not demonstrated that female 'mate choice' is not for 'good genes' rather than resources. Given...
Jay, I've invested in the 3-volume set, The Psychology of Resolving Global Conflicts: From War to Peace, because I believe a modern understanding of human...
Sonny Williams: Something troubles me about restricting conflict to that between "breeding populations." While I agree that resource acquisition and...

I just want to add to Jay's comment. Behaviorism may have been a very large umbrella. I do tend to think that the sub-branch called Social Learning theory...
Dear Colleague, We wish to invite you to participate in a special seminar presenting by Dr. Richard Koenigsberg's at Fordham University--beginning October 12. ...
Behaviourism was a blight on psychology because not only was it 'greedy reductionism', but a reductionism that essentially was false. The model of the brain...
Jay, A couple of thoughts leap out as I read what you've said regarding breeding populations and war: 1) human in-group size has increased markedly, and 2)...
Sonny Williams: 1) human in-group size has increased markedly, and 2) in-group social maneuvering is the likely source of human intelligence, not the...
