Human nature totally explained

Article Abstract:

The Darwin seminars held at the London School of Economics have played a significant role as a public relations tool for sociobiology, which states that human nature is all in the genes. The new Darwinians believe that evolutionary psychology, which indicates that it is necessary to understand the evolution of the human mind in order to fully understand it, can abolish the worst excesses of human sociobiology as it was presented in the 1970s. It is correct that evolution is now beginning to feature in psychology textbooks, but it is not yet in a position to transform the entire discipline.

Five years of Darwin seminars: a paradigm shift?

Article Abstract:

Evolutionary psychologists believe that Darwinism can give an insight into elements of human behaviour. They focus on traits shared by all humans, regarding these traits as evolved adaptations to a pre-agricultural way of life. The Darwin seminars at the London School of Economics have played an important role in making the general public aware of the first wave of evolutionary psychology. They have also revived expectations among ordinary people that science should assist in understanding human nature.

Just a phrase they're going through

Article Abstract:

Evelyn Fox Keller, a science critic, looks at the contemporary links between theory and practical research and argues that scientists are influenced by the cultural, psychological and personal backgrounds. Keller wants the scientific community to question the need for science in the modern world, and to understand why a research project is being done rather than just doing it for its own sake.
