Aren’t human behaviors the result of learning and socialization, not evolution?
This question is typically framed as the “nature versus nurture” debate. Evolutionary psychology views this debate as a false dichotomy. All environmental pressures and inputs interact (nurture), influence, and activate mechanisms on the ontogenetic level and psychological adaptations at the immediate proximal level (nature). Thus, nature and nurture are absolutely inseparable at the level of the individual.
