Darwinism

One of the central premises of this book is that individual and social behavioral traits developed through natural selection. Humans inherited numerous primitive features from simple life forms. Just as we utilize biochemical processes similar to those found in bacteria, worms, or non-human vertebrates, we have inherited basic emotional responses and behavioral features from our animal ancestors. Darwin suggested that various parts of psychology developed as adaptive traits, similar to anatomical, physiological, and metabolic adaptations. His suggestion formed the basis of evolutionary psychology as a scientific discipline. This book postulates that the propensity to judgment, that is, peer evaluation, has developed through natural selection as an individual and social trait, which is overall adaptive. Numerous implications of such an approach are discussed at theoretical and practical levels.
