Next question for 10 points. Why is Evolutionary Psychology important in the study of human behavior?

Evolutionary psychologists (see, for example, Buss, 2005; Durrant & Ellis, 2003; Pinker, 2002; Tooby & Cosmides, 2005) argue that much of human behavior is generated by psychological adaptations that evolved to solve recurrent problems in human ancestral environments. They hypothesize, for example, that humans have inherited special mental capacities for acquiring language, making it nearly automatic, while inheriting no capacity specifically for reading and writing. Other adaptations, according to EP, might include the abilities to infer others' emotions, to discern kin from non-kin, to identify and prefer healthier mates, to cooperate with others, and so on. Consistent with the theory of natural selection, evolutionary psychology sees organisms as often in conflict with others of their species, including mates and relatives.
Evolutionary psychology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Based on this, I can say that Evolutionary Psychology is important in the study of human behavior beacause rather than focusing on what makes us all diifrent (like genes or hormones), it places greater emphasis on the things that make us all similar and how we have all evolved together to become what we are today.
