Keeping cultural in cultural evolutionary psychology: Culture shapes indigenous psychologies in specific ecologies (original) (raw)

Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2019

Abstract

In Cognitive Gadgets, Heyes seeks to unite evolutionary psychology with cultural evolutionary theory. Although we applaud this unifying effort, we find it falls short of considering how culture itself evolves to produce indigenous psychologies fitted to particular environments. We focus on mentalizing and autobiographical memory as examples of how socialization practices embedded within culture build cognitive adaptations.
