About This Book

In The Adapted Mind, human psychology is framed as a mosaic of evolved mechanisms sculpted by natural selection. Our minds carry hidden programs that shape language, social reasoning, and emotional responses. Behaviors that once enhanced survival became encoded as mental adaptations. By exploring cognitive design, the book reveals why people think, feel, and interact the way they do, blending biology with culture to explain the origins of the human mind.
