Evolutionary psychology is an approach to [[psychology]] that attempts to explain psychological traits using the [[Theory of Evolution]], by considering them as adaptations to their [[environment]], i.e., as the functional products of natural selection. The purpose of this approach is to bring the functional way of thinking about [[biology | biological]] mechanisms such as the heart or the immune system, into the field of psychology, and to approach psychological mechanisms, such as face recognition or language acquisition, in a similar way.
