Evolutionary Perspective

• Evolutionary psychology is an approach in the social and natural sciences that examines psychological traits such as memory, perception, and language from a modern evolutionary perspective.
• Just as evolutionary physiology has worked to identify physical adaptations of the body that represent “human physiological nature,” evolutionary psychology works to identify evolved emotional and cognitive adaptations that represent “human psychological nature.”
• The field of evolutionary psychology has its historical roots in Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection, but it has also been heavily influenced by fields such as ethology, evolutionary biology, artificial intelligence, genetics, and anthropology.

Evolutionary- evolutionary psychology, founded by Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, focuses on the idea that our phobias and reflexes are based on the things that once kept our ancestors alive. This theory helps some psychologists rationalize mental disorders like anxiety.

The Evolutionary approach focuses on the traits of memory, perception, or language this approach focus on the way of thinking. The evolution you would say of the mind and behavior.  The one that would mostly contrast again is sociocultural because sociocultural focuses on the environment and everything around you.
