Evolutionary psychology is the study of the mind. In evolutionary psychology everything is adaptive and is the universal study of human nature. When listening to the interview with Steven Pinker is what all very interesting what he was saying about the behavior of humans. as he was giving examples of the different ways I find this more interesting then all of the other psychology's being study. Evolutionary psychology seems to be more of a examining type of psychology on how we behave for different situations and our body language towards things make us uncomfortable. When he started talking about fantasizing, it made more sense to me on how we humans work. We do things a lot of the time because it's pleasurable even when we know it's wrong but we keep doing it because we fantasize about it.
I agree with everything he said. We are fascinated by a lot of things in the world but a lot of them are the wrong and sinful things to do. With evolutionary psychology many things adapt quite well and human nature is the most talked about subject when it comes down it. Humans are very interesting especially when it comes down to how we came to be through evolution and how we obtained the behaviors we have today.
