Evolutionary psychology is a scientific approach that examines how our mental processes and behaviors have been shaped by the pressures of natural selection over time. It explores how certain ways of thinking, feeling, and acting may have helped our ancestors survive and reproduce, and how these traits influence us today. By understanding the evolutionary roots of human psychology, researchers aim to uncover why we think and behave the way we do, providing insights into common patterns across cultures and individuals.
