Our society has different views in regards to race and gender evolutionary psychology. Racial evolutionary psychology’s(i.e. cognitive differences between races) applications and implications are substantially more negative than the implications and applications of gender evolutionary psychology. Evolutionary psychology is often applied as with the intention to improve heterosexual relationships and issues that pertain to men and women respectively. Gender Darwinian psychology theories of gender difference, particularly theories surrounding mating strategies has been supported by progressives such as Warren Farell, Dr. Drew and Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks(show on You Tube). On the other hand, racial evolutionary psychology has been supported by neo-nazis, KKK, slave masters of the 1800s, the former white dominating society in South Africa, and neo-conservatives that forbid breeding involving those with high-IQs and low IQS. Unfortunately, the greater amount of well-intentioned applications of evolutionary gender psychology does not mitigate the dubious evidence which often matches the quality of evidence posited in racial evolutionary psychology. What do you think of the evidence of evolutionary psychology in the fields of race and gender?
