The 30 pages that link to Evolutionary psychology, each with the reason it gives.

• Human natureRelated: It explains some recurring tendencies as products of ancestral selection pressures.

• Cross-cultural psychologyCompared with: It foregrounds evolved commonalities that cultural comparisons test against local variation.

• Evolutionary game theoryRelated: Evolutionary game models offer tools for analyzing strategic pressures on behavior.

• DisgustNarrower topic: It frames disgust as a possible defense against infection and contamination.

• NeotenyCompared with: Claims linking human behavior to neoteny often exceed evidence from developmental morphology.

• SociobiologyCompared with: It focuses more directly on evolved psychological mechanisms than sociobiology's broad study of social behavior.

• Scientific naturalismRelated: It applies naturalistic explanation to human cognition and behavior.

• The Descent of ManRelated: Darwin’s discussion of mental continuity and behavior helped frame later evolutionary accounts of the mind.

• The Selfish GeneRelated: Its gene-centered framing influenced later accounts of evolved human behavior.

• Theistic evolutionRelated: Its accounts of cognition and morality prompt questions about whether religious belief is adaptive, true, or both.

• Tinbergen's four questionsCompared with: Its functional accounts overlap with one question but do not replace mechanistic or developmental explanations.

• Cognitive science of religionRelated: Some theories ask whether cognitive tendencies associated with religion reflect evolved adaptations or by-products.

• Evolutionary anthropologyCompared with: It concentrates on psychological mechanisms, while evolutionary anthropology also studies bodies and population history.

• Human behavioral ecologyCompared with: It often emphasizes evolved cognitive mechanisms, while human behavioral ecology models flexible choices in current conditions.

• John BowlbyRelated: Bowlby used evolutionary reasoning to explain why proximity-seeking could aid infant survival.

• Modularity of mindNarrower topic: Its proponents often explain specialized cognitive mechanisms as adaptations to recurring ancestral problems.

• Robert TriversRelated: Trivers’s theories helped establish evolutionary explanations for social and psychological behavior.

• Steven PinkerNarrower topic: Pinker applies evolutionary explanations to language, cognition, and human behavior.

• W. D. HamiltonRelated: Hamiltonian reasoning influenced hypotheses about kin-directed behavior in humans.

• Christine Ladd-FranklinRelated: She interpreted color vision as an ability that developed through evolutionary stages.

• Family economicsCompared with: It offers evolutionary explanations of mating and parenting behavior distinct from economic incentives.

• Functional psychologyRelated: It revisits functional questions by asking how psychological mechanisms may reflect evolutionary pressures.

• Physical attractivenessNarrower topic: It proposes evolutionary explanations for some recurring attraction preferences.

• Baldwin effectNarrower topic: The Baldwin effect became a point of debate about how learning and evolved psychology interact.

• Behavior and Behavior MechanismsCompared with: It explains behavior through evolutionary hypotheses, one perspective among several.

• Behavioural sciencesRelated: It offers evolutionary explanations that can complement or compete with social accounts.

• Evolutionary origin of religionNarrower topic: It supplies one framework for linking evolved mental capacities to religious thought.

• Irenäus Eibl-EibesfeldtRelated: It shares his interest in evolved behavioral patterns, while developing distinct theories and methods.

• Psychological phenomenaCompared with: It explains psychological patterns through evolutionary function and history.

• Theories about religionCompared with: It asks how religious tendencies might have evolved, rather than treating religion chiefly as a social institution.
