Steven Pinker

As Steven Pinker described evolutionary psychology as regular psychology he wanted them to be the same just like the brain and the mind are the same because they are a thinking process. He also talked about how some scientist who are geneticist say that every part of a person is in there genes which he thinks is wrong because there is something else to it and I agree with that because it is free will that changes a person into his personality. He talked about how evolutionary psychology is based on the environment and not by the genes which I think is true because if you are in a certain country then you are bound to learn another language or pick up traditions that are in that country not the ones that your parents were born in.

Steven said that the brain had to have evolved because we can not just put in information in to things with out it learning something or giving a response because we are not robots and robots will never be like us because it can not advance on its own. I think that Steven is right because if we can change the planet than we had to change with it so we must have changed our thinking patterns and that is what led us to evolve to the society that we are today because it was necessary. I thought that the Ken selection was a good concept because everyone loves their family before their friends and they would choose the people they care about before anyone else.
