robert davidson - what are the mechanisms lyrics
leda cosmides: the key here is understanding what are the mechanisms that are regulating various activities, and then you can start to ask “how can i intervene in these to get some kind of different outcome”. and thinking about it in a hunter+gatherer context gives you hypotheses about these mechanisms that you might never have had before
stephen pinker: it’s only been 10,000 yеars or so since the neolithic rеvolution. for all we know, there could have been evolution since then but 10,000 years is a drop in the bucket compared to the six to eight million years since we separated from chimpanzees

john tooby: evolutionary change is very slow…since we know very few genetic changes have taken place since the rise of agriculture in the human species, we know that basically our modern human brains are stone age minds inside modern human societies
stephen rose: the flintstone view of how people lived, that is, you take american suburban life back in the 1950s or so, and you project it back into the stone age
helena cronin: it may be that our minds were designed to be in such different environments from the ones that we’re in that we’re coping in the only way our minds know, and that feels to us like pathology
leda cosmides: if you’re a hunter gatherer, there are certain things that are uncommon in your environment. that really the only source of sugars is going to be from fruit, which has vitamins in it, it’s very good for you, but it’s effortful to get, and it’s not common. fats you’re mostly getting from game, but game animals are not fatty, and so we have evolved appetites for things like fats and sugars
so by understanding these appetites and these information processing processes that evolved in another time and under different circumstances, you can get a better handle on why people are doing what they’re doing today, even when what they’re doing seems to have some quite negative consequences
martin daly: i think it’s fairly clear that we spend a lot of time, that from a certain perspective is wasted time, interacting with novel aspects of our environment that have been specifically designed to exploit the way our minds work but that do us no d+mn good. like p+rnography
