As readers of this journal will happily attest, evolutionary thinking now penetrates and energizes virtually all areas of psychology (Gaulin and McBurney, 2003; Buss, 2005, 2007; Gray, 2006). As readers may also recognize, an exciting recent trend is that scholars are bringing evolutionary thinking to fields that might appear even further from its purview, including law (Jones, 2004), religion (e.g., Boyer, 2001; Atran, 2002; Wilson, 2003), history (Smail, 2007), aesthetics (e.g., Dissanyake, 1994; Miller, 2000), literature (e.g., Carroll, 1994; Gottschall and Wilson, 2005; Barash and Barash, 2005), and morality (e.g., Hauser, 2006; Haidt, 2007). In this new volume, Evolutionary Cognitive Neuroscience (hereafter ECN), editors Platek, Keenan and Shackelford go the other way, bringing evolutionary thinking to an area where most people would assume it’s already integrated. In particular, the editors claim that the field of cognitive neuroscience—despite its deep relations with hard-core biological fields such as anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and genetics—has missed the Darwinian boat by neglecting to harness the power of adaptive thinking. Instead, it has focused on proximate mechanisms without giving proper consideration to the possible function of those mechanisms and their evolutionary history. The editors, who are practicing neuroscientists and evolutionary psychologists, argue that this state of affairs is finally changing (c.f., Webster, 2007) and that it’s high time to take stock of what the evolutionary perspective has provided so far. Their stated goal (p. xvi) is, “to present, in an organized overview, the way in which researchers are beginning to wed
