[edit] Evolutionary psychology forum

I thought that you might be interested to know that there is an evolutionary psychology forum over at the Psychology Wiki. It was set up a little more than a month ago but still hasn't been used yet. I'll inform other Wikipedians who I think may be interested, as well. EPM 21:47, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Evolutionary approaches to depression

I'm watching your edits to this. You seem to be overloading the lede with too much background. The opening paragraphs should provide a concise summary to the topic which should be introduced in bold type quite early so that a reader who is skimming gets the sense of the article quickly. Perhaps you could summarise your point about the epidemiological case in the lede and introduce a more detailed section for the evidence. Colonel Warden (talk) 23:58, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Tree of Knowledge System

Hi! I've noticed the edit wars that have been going on on the evolutionary psychology articles. I think you might find the Tree of Knowledge System by Gregg Henriques interesting. Henriques, who is now a psychology professor at James Madison University, devised this system to try and pinpoint where some of the major epistemological "tensions" arise from in psychology, and consequently offered solutions to these problems. Though I'm not in total agreement with the ToK, (who is ever in total agreement with everything anyways?), I think Henriques does a good job of addressing some major issues in psychology, (including EP), and I suspect you might, as well.

Here's a few external links if you're interested:

And since you have written so much on evolutionary approaches to depression, you might find Henriques' paper, Depression: Disease or Behavioral Shutdown Mechanism?, interesting, as well.

I hope this is of some usefullness to you. EPM (talk) 16:26, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
