Currently, the study of psychology from a Darwinian perspective is dominated by one approach (which we call ‘Narrow Evolutionary Psychology'). We contend that a variety of approaches can be fruitfully used to apply evolutionary science to the study of psychology. Our goal is to publicize a host of different methodologies for studying human psychology from an evolutionary perspective – some of which are incompatible with each other. Our purpose is not to endorse any of them; rather, we wish to make them more widely known, in order to enhance the scholarly debate surrounding evolutionary psychology.
