Adapted Mind (book)

*Adapted Mind* is an academic book that explores the theory of evolution, focusing on how natural selection shapes behavior and cognition in humans and animals. It presents the idea that our mental processes and behaviors have developed over time to adapt to environmental challenges, much like physical traits. The book integrates insights from biology, psychology, and anthropology to explain how evolutionary pressures influence aspects such as learning, decision-making, and social interactions, emphasizing that many features of our minds are designed to solve specific problems faced by our ancestors.
