Narvaez et al. (2022), in their article "Evolving Evolutionary Psychology," argue that mainstream evolutionary psychology is based on misguided neo-Darwinian adaptationist thinking and an antiquated computationalist, "mind-as-computer" framework and offer their own developmentally informed theory as an alternative. While applauding Narvaez et al. for promoting the role of development in evolutionary explication and as a potential metatheory for psychology, we point out that contemporary evolutionary-developmental accounts address the shortcomings of mainstream evolutionary psychology they describe, while maintaining an adaptationist perspective that includes a central role of evolved, domain-specific information-processing mechanisms.

纳瓦埃兹等人(2022 年)在他们的文章《进化心理学的发展》中指出,主流进化心理学是基于错误的新达尔文适应主义思维和过时的计算主义“计算机化思维”框架,并提出他们自己的发展信息论作为替代理论。虽然我们赞赏纳瓦埃兹等人在促进发展在进化解释中的作用以及作为心理学潜在元理论方面所做的努力,但我们指出,当代进化发展理论解释了他们所描述的主流进化心理学的缺点,同时保持了适应主义的观点,包括进化的、特定领域的信息处理机制的核心作用。(美国心理协会,2022 年,所有权利保留)。
