Talk:Bibliography of evolution and human behavior

Rolando 01:54, 23 January 2006 (UTC)Fantastic page. I will pick out some important names and start creating their missing pages. A few questions to the people who maintain this: Anyway, this is a great resource.
 * What are the criteria for inclusion? They seem somewhat arbitrary.
 * What about redlinks? I think it might be a good idea to create redlinks to all the names.
 * How about a category for "Scholars in evolution and human behavior" (terrible name, but you get the idea)

Response to Rolondo
I'm glad you liked the page. I thought I would respond to your qestions.
 * I took most of these names from a list from the Human Behavior and Evolution Society. That list had a lot of broken links. I excluded names that didn't have a list of publications, (at least that I could find), and I excluded non-english papers. I included other names that weren't on that list but had publications in evolution and human behavior, (e.g. Dennis Krebs). I made an exception with William Hamilton. I couldn't find a list of his publications, so I included his Memorial Site. Why, you may ask? Because he's William Hamilton! If you have other names that can be added to this list with links to their publications, by all means feel free to add them.
 * I thought about making redlinks, but then I figured I'd just get one of those labels on this page that says, "This page has an excess of redlinks." I figured links could be added as new pages were created. It doesn't really matter to me, though, if there are redlinks. If you want to add some redlinks to pages that you plan on creating, go for it!
 * A page for Scholars in Evolution and Human Behavior? Sounds great. But then, doesn't this page sort of imply that kind of a list?
 * I was wondering...should a list of research interests be listed next to each person's name?

Once again, thanks for the comments! User:EPM

Rolando 23:40, 24 January 2006 (UTC)I added a little introductory text with references and tried to make a table of contents and sub-table of contents that made sense. Also moved letters a level down in the hierarchy. I wonder if there's a way to tell the TOC to only include sections above a certain level of the section hierarchy...

Geneaology of the disciplines

 * Could it also be argued that evolutionary psychology, human behavioral ecology, and dual inheritance theory ultimately emerged out of sociobiology?

Rolando 22:23, 25 January 2006 (UTC) Yes, I think that's fair to say. If you get a chance you should get your hands on one if not both of the books I cited. Adaptation and Human Behavior is a good anthology of anthropology papers in the area, while Sense and Nonsense is a good summary of the various subdisciplines and how they do their work, incl. how they differ. Both are valuable books.


 * I've got Adaptation and Human Behavior, and it's a good book, (at least judging by the two or three papers in the book that I've read.) Also, I created a link to the Smith paper entitled Three Styles in the Evolutionary Analysis of Human Behavior on Smith's page. In my opinion, that paper is a good place to start for someone who isn't very familiar with looking at human behavior from an evolutionary perspective.

evo-psych
Why does this page (Bibliography of evolution and human behavior, which is linked as the "main article" for the reference section of human evolution) redirect to, of all things, evo-psych? Cesiumfrog (talk) 06:16, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
