Although agreeing with R. Lickliter and H. Honeycutt (2003) that evolutionary psychology lacks and should adopt a coherent developmental model to explain how evolved mechanisms become expressed in phenotypes, it is argued that adhering to the principles of developmental systems theory, despite enhancing evolutionary psychology, would not change appreciably its basic focus. The concepts of innateness and modularity, what is inherited and what evolves, as well as the possible role of developmental plasticity in the evolution of human cognition are discussed. It is proposed that evolutionary psychology can incorporate the developmental systems perspective into its theorizing, with the end result being a science that more closely reflects human nature.
尽管认同R. 利克利特和H. 霍尼卡特（2003）的观点，即进化心理学缺乏且应当采用一个连贯的发展模型来解释进化而来的机制是如何在表型中得以表达的，但有人认为，坚持发展系统理论的原则，尽管能加强进化心理学，却不会显著改变其基本关注点。文中讨论了先天性和模块性的概念、遗传的和进化的内容，以及发展可塑性在人类认知进化中可能发挥的作用。有人提出，进化心理学可以将发展系统视角纳入其理论构建中，最终形成一门能更紧密反映人性的科学。
