The nature/nurture question is an age-old problem. Beyond
Evolutionary Psychology deals with the relation between culture,
evolution, psychology and emotion, based both in the underlying
biology, determined by our evolutionary heritage, and in the
interaction of our brain with the physical, ecological and social
environment, based in the key property of brain plasticity. Ellis
and Solms show how the brain structures that underlie cognition and
behaviour relate to each other through developmental processes
guided by primary emotional systems. This makes very clear which
brain modules are innate or 'hard-wired', and which are
'soft-wired' or determined through environmental interactions. The
key finding is that there can be no innate cognitive modules in the
neocortex, as this is not possible on both developmental and
genetic grounds; in particular there can be no innate language
acquisition device. This is essential reading for students and
scholars of evolutionary psychology and evolutionary biology.
