A branch of psychology that explains mental traits and behaviors as adaptive products of natural selection over evolutionary history.
From Latin 'evolutio' (unrolling) + Greek 'psychologia.' Psychology through the lens of evolution.
Evolutionary psychology asks 'Why does the human mind work this way?' and answers 'Because it helped our ancestors survive!' — fear of snakes, attraction, jealousy all have evolutionary roots.
