Hi All,
Just a reminder for next week. Your thought paper for next week is one to two pages on.
Pick an area of Psychology you have studied before (e.g. Social, Development, Personality) and try to explicate how and Evolutionary Psychology approach would be different from other approaches you have studied.
This may include
What ways would EP theories about XXXX be different from other theories you have covered?
What kinds of questions would be asked in researching XXXX?
What kind of evidences would be appealed to (as opposed to those currently used)?

In general you should consider for next week
What is evolution?
What is Natural selection and how is this involved in Darwins theory of evolution?
What are the central claims / assumptions of evolutionary psychology?
What are the opposing views ?(it may be easier to think of the extremes first before thinking about realistic positions)
What kind of evidence do EPists appeal to?
