We review the empirical literature that has implemented aspects of our ancestral environment into the workplace and discuss the positive influence these factors have had on employees' physical and psychological health. We focus upon several components of our ancestral environment, including sunlight, greenery, sleep, physical movement, and social interaction with fellow humans as well as animals (specifically, dogs). Employers who are willing to adopt an evolutionary psychological approach to organizing their workplaces may drastically improve their workers' overall physical and psychological health as well as their overall productivity. This will, in turn, decrease employer costs related to medical care, absenteeism, and lack of productivity. Suggestions regarding how to implement these evolutionary psychological methods to the workplace are also discussed.
我们回顾了将我们祖先环境的各个方面应用于工作场所的实证文献，并讨论了这些因素对员工身心健康的积极影响。我们关注祖先环境的几个组成部分，包括阳光、绿色植物、睡眠、身体活动以及与人类和动物（特别是狗）的社交互动。愿意采用进化心理学方法来组织工作场所的雇主可能会大幅改善员工的整体身心健康以及整体生产力。反过来，这将降低雇主在医疗保健、旷工和生产力低下方面的成本。我们还讨论了如何在工作场所实施这些进化心理学方法的建议。
