SP - 511 EP - 514 VL - 90 IS - 9 N2 - Evolutionary psychology Evolutionary psychology attempts to explain human behavior in terms of psychological adap-, tations which evolved during milions of years to solve recurrent adaptive problems of our evolutionary ancestors. Examples of these problems are: - incest taboo, - food preference, - ingroup interactions, - outgroup relations, - detection of free-riders and defectors in cooperative groups, - different male and female strategy in struggle for mates. There exist a number of evolutionary psychology predictions tested so far. Among limits of contemporary evolutionary psychology explanations are homosexuality, suicide and individual and cultural variability.
