Once the reluctant revolutionary Charles Darwin published his scientific discoveries in his book, On the Origin of Species, it changed forever and shaped for centuries more late the world we live in. One of Darwin's theories, supported by extensive evidence, which he published in this book, was that humans, along with all other living species, are subject to evolve and change over time. This theory would later give rise to a whole new field, evolutionary psychology. Today, evolutionary psychology is an emerging and still growing field. Darwin's evolutionary theory provided the framework for developing a new perspective, and therefore a new field, in psychology. By applying Darwin's approach and theories to psychology, we have created a new way of looking at the evolution of humanity and human behavior. Evolutionary psychology is the study of human psychological adaptations to physical or social changes in the environment. Research in this area focuses on changes in brain structure, behavioral differences between people, and their cognitive mechanisms. Scientists and psychologists were inspired by Darwin's ideas and joined forces to work together in the early 1950s to launch research into human evolution. Their work introduced a new perspective on the study of growth or change in humanity. The Center for Evolutionary Psychology focuses on questions such as: How does a trait develop and evolve in an individual? Are all traits subject to change or are there certain immutable human traits? By asking these kinds of questions, evolutionary psychologists, thanks to Darwin, can understand whether a certain trait is shaped by natural selection and how a trait can contribute to a being's survival. In other words, the world has gained a new perception...... middle of paper ...... Although one hundred and fifty five years have passed since the publication of Charles Darwin's book, On the Origin species, its influence is still felt today. Although his book focused on what would become evolutionary biology, it may have influenced and indirectly created many other fields, including evolutionary psychology. Although Darwin could not have imagined the impact his work would have on psychology, he wrote in On the Origin of Species: “In the distant future I see open fields for greater research. Psychology will rely on a new foundation, that of the necessary acquisition of each power and mental capacity by gradation. In a sense, Darwin was aware that his theory would not only change science, but also influence other fields like psychology. After all, Darwin found a new way of looking at life.
