307: Where Does Evolutionary Psychology Evidence Come From?

In today’s show, Dr. Lisle discusses in detail “Where does the evidence for evolutionary psychology come from?”

Our first question from a listener begins, ” I am incredibly fascinated by EP and feel that I have learned so much from the show. I do wonder sometimes though when the questions get answered, what evidence/research is it based on? Assuming the conclusions are inferred… there obviously isn’t a set of randomized control trial which provides the answers. I ask for my own interest but also as to provide additional weight to my recommendations to friends/family to learn about this area as I have been doing for the last couple of years. “

Question # 2 from a different listener:   “What personality traits correlate with people who seek continual simple pleasures in place of higher achievements, even if their community values higher achievements? Such as people who choose alcohol over the success of their career or relationship, or who shirk responsibly because it feel “too hard” or “too much” for them?”
