Beyond the pleistocene: using phylogeny and constraint to inform the evolutionary psychology of human mating.

30 Aug 2009 Evolutionary psychologists explore the adaptive function of traits and behaviors that characterize modern Homo sapiens. However, evolutionary psychologists have yet to incorporate the phylogenetic relationship between modern Homo sapiens and humans' ... Read more...

Environmental influences on epigenetic profiles.

24 Aug 2009 Studies of environmental challenges, such as hazardous air pollutants, nonmutagenic toxins, diet choice, and maternal behavioral patterns, reveal changes in gene expression patterns, DNA methylation, and histone modifications that are in causal ... Read more...

Neuroplasticity, psychosocial genomics, and the biopsychosocial paradigm in the 21st century.

30 Jul 2009 The biopsychosocial perspective is a foundation of social work theory and practice. Recent research on neuroplasticity and psychosocial genomics lends compelling support to this perspective by elucidating mechanisms through which psychosocial forces ... Read more...
