The Evolutionary Biology of Rational Behavior

摘要: Modern neoclassical microeconomics has developed in an era which evolutionary biology and neurobiology have flourished with their many important insights on why people today behave the way they do. And experts’ explanation is fairly straightforward: There remains a great deal of noise people’s behavior (mainly because human intellectual, physical, emotional evolution never stopped), but when stripped away, today’s do what large measure how basic physiological mental functionalities evolved long ago. Those continue to constrain modern behavior. These from theory (and that will be considered following chapter) been integrated into number physical social disciplines, most notably psychology. “Evolutionary psychologists” posited grounds for behaviors, not least are entrenched mating behaviors help explain male/female interactions today.
