Evolutionary psychology is a theoretical approach to psychology that examines human psychological structure from a modern evolutionary perspective. Evolutionary psychologists aim to identify and explore human psychological traits, such as language, perception, or memory, that may be evolved adaptations (i.e., functional products of natural selection in human evolution). Researchers have shown that human behaviors related to topics such as intelligence, beauty, marriage, parenting, and many more may be evolved adaptations.
