Sažetak
The focus on the ultimate level of analysis within the evolutionary psychology approach gives an impression that ultimate causes are more important than the proximate ones. The point argued in this article is that we should not neglect the proximate mechanisms of the adaptations we are researching, as we too often do. How and why questions are not alternatives ; they are complementary, and to advance our understanding of human behavior, we must tie a proximate mechanism with an ultimate explanation.
