Evolutionary psychology applies Darwin's theory about the role of natural selection to human psychological processes. It focuses on how natural selection has shaped human behavior, cognition, and emotions over time, and how these adaptations have helped humans survive and reproduce in different environments. It does not primarily concentrate on describing cultural differences among racial and ethnic groups or emphasize individual capacity for growth, free will, and self-direction.
