Evolutionary Psychology examines human behavior and psychological traits through an evolutionary lens. Recent articles explore topics such as the influence of environmental harshness on reproductive strategies, the role of folk stories in disease response, and the manifestation of narcissism in response to environmental changes. The journal also investigates the evolutionary basis of cooperation, psychopathy, virtue signaling, and memory for animate and threatening stimuli. Additionally, it considers the impact of parenthood on well-being and the evolutionary implications of various human behaviors and cognitive processes.
