"Prior to Darwin humans lived in a different world from other species. While our machines were inhabited by ghosts, other creatures were simply machines devoid of internal states (Descartes, 1641). With the publication of the Origin of Species in 1859, however, people began to question this anthropocentric assumption of a discontinuity between 'us' and 'them'. Thirteen years later in Darwin's final book The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals he developed this argument of continuity between human and non-human species further by drawing on observations of parallels of expression and reaction in a wide range of species. It is fair to say that The Expression of the Emotions led directly to the development of 'comparative psychology' and provided legitimacy to the study of animal behavior as a means to better understand ourselves (Workman, 2013). In 1894 Conway Lloyd Morgan formalised this approach in his book Introduction to Comparative Psychology setting out the ground rules for the comparative method"--
摘要註
The transformative wave of Darwinian insight continues to expand throughout the human sciences. While still centered on evolution-focused fields such as evolutionary psychology, ethology, and human behavioral ecology, this insight has also influenced cognitive science, neuroscience, feminist discourse, sociocultural anthropology, media studies, and clinical psychology. This handbook's goal is to amplify the wave by bringing together world-leading experts to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of evolution-oriented and influenced fields. While evolutionary psychology remains at the core of the collection, it also covers the history, current standing, debates, and future directions of the panoply of fields entering the Darwinian fold. As such, The Cambridge Handbook of Evolutionary Perspectives on Human Behavior is a valuable reference not just for evolutionary psychologists but also for scholars and students from many fields who wish to see how the evolutionary perspective is relevant to their own work.
