Evolutionary psychology is a psychological field that relies on the principles of natural selection in building upon its theoretical perspectives. The theory has attracted much application in the field of science.
Evolutionary psychologists emphasize that the concept of natural sexual and selection plays a significant role in shaping behavior and the human mind through psychological mechanisms. Evolutionary psychology posits that the human mind consists of a large number of domain-specific mechanisms that work to deliver cognitive responses. The psychological perspective believes that each cognitive aspect of the mind has its own form of the mechanism responsible for yielding solutions. The concept derives its assumptions from the basic analogy of evolutionary theory advanced by Charles Darwin. It assumes that just as each organ of the human body evolved to perform different functions jointly with other parts, so makes the human cognitive mind.
However, evolutionary psychology has numerous limitations in its approach to defining human behavior. Firstly, the vagueness arising from the assumptions of evolutionary perspective remains a critical limitation to the widely used evolutionary psychology. Similarly, evolutionary psychology suffers from the inability to offer room to test the theoretical hypotheses proposed by the theory.
