An introduction to The evolution of mind : why we developed this book / Comprehensive knowledge of human evolutionary history requires both adaptationism and phylogenetics / Natural psychology : the environment of evolutionary adaptedness and the structure of cognition / Reconstructing the evolution of the mind is depressingly difficult / Reconstructing the evolution of the human mind / How the evolution of the human mind might be reconstructed / Reproductive success : then and now / On the utility, not the necessity, of tracking current fitness / Why measuring reproductive success in current populations is valuable : moving forward by going backward / What nonhuman primates can and can't teach us about the evolution of mind / Who lived in the environment of evolutionary adaptedness? / Chimpanzee and human intelligence : life history, diet, and the mind / Optimality approaches and evolutionary psychology : a call for synthesis / The games people play / Dynamical evolutionary psychology and mathematical modeling : quantifying the implications of qualitative biases / Functional specialization and the adaptationist program / Modules in the flesh / The developmental dynamics of adaptation / An alternative evolutionary psychology? / Development as the target of evolution : a computational approach to developmental systems / Evolutionary psychology and developmental systems theory / The importance of developmental biology to evolutionary biology and vice versa / The role of group selection in human psychological evolution / Group selection : a tale of two controversies / On detecting the footprints of multilevel selection in humans / The hominid entry into the cognitive niche / Runaway social selection in human evolution / Key changes in the evolution of human psychology / Brain evolution and the human adaptive complex : an ecological and social theory / Evolution of the social brain / Brain evolution / E pluribus unum : too many unique human capacities and too many theories / The motivation to control and the evolution of general intelligence / The g-culture coevolution / General intellectual ability / Cultural adaptation and maladaptation : of kayaks and commissars / The envelope of human cultures and the promise of integrated behavioral sciences / The linked red queens of human cognition, coalitions, and culture / Evolutionary biology, cognitive adaptations, and human culture / Representational epidemiology : skepticism and gullibility / Turning garbage into gold : evolutionary universals and cross-cultural differences / The evolution of human mating strategies : consequences for conflict and cooperation / Social structural origins of sex differences in human mating / The evolution of women's estrus, extended sexuality, and concealed ovulation, and their implications for human sexuality research / Whither science of the evolution of mind? / Steven W.
