This paper outlines some of the basic issues in evolutionary thinking when applied to psychopathology. It aims to give some background and context to the papers that follow. Particular attention is given to the way evolution is constrained by previous design features, the importance of trade offs between advantages and disadvantages of different traits, the way social dilemmas and conflicts have shaped the evolution of human motivational systems, and the psychology that supports them. The paper concludes with a plea to avoid thinking of evolutionary approaches as a reductionist science, when the focus needs to be on the way evolution theory informs the study of the social-biological interface.
本文概述了应用于精神病理学的进化思维中的一些基本问题。其目的是为后续论文提供一些背景和情境。特别关注了进化如何受到先前设计特征的限制、不同性状利弊之间权衡的重要性、社会困境和冲突塑造人类动机系统进化的方式以及支持这些系统的心理学。本文最后呼吁，当重点应放在进化理论如何为社会生物学界面的研究提供信息时，避免将进化方法视为一门还原论科学。
