Research Abstract |
I have conducted my research for the past four years along the two themes-the problems of ‘units of natural selection’ and ‘adaptationist explanations of human behavior’-from a standpoint critical of gene-reductionist strategies. Especially, as for the latter problem, I have had a number of occasions to present my critical analysis of the methodology of evolutionary psychology called ‘evolutionary functional analysis’ to the international audience. The only thing left for me to do is to publish it on prestigious international journals, which I will continue to challenge down the road.
