Human nature has a dark side, something important to religions. Evolutionary psychology has been used to illuminate the human shadow side, although as a discipline it has attracted criticism. This article seeks to examine the evolutionary psychology's understanding of human nature and to propose an unexpected dialog with an enduring account of human evil known as original sin. Two cases are briefly considered: murder and rape. To further the exchange, numerous theoretical and methodological criticisms and replies of evolutionary psychology are explored jointly with original sin. Evolutionary psychology can partner with original sin since they share some theoretical likenesses and together they offer insights into the nature of what it means to be human.
人性有其阴暗面，这对宗教而言至关重要。进化心理学已被用于阐释人类的阴暗面，尽管作为一门学科它饱受批评。本文旨在审视进化心理学对人性的理解，并提出与一种长久以来对人类邪恶的阐释（即原罪）进行意外的对话。简要考虑了两个案例：谋杀和强奸。为推动这种交流，进化心理学的众多理论和方法论批评以及回应与原罪一同被探讨。进化心理学可以与原罪携手合作，因为它们在理论上有一些相似之处，并且共同为理解人性的本质提供了见解。
