Abstract

This paper examines how evolutionary psychology integrates paleoanthropological evidence to reconstruct the evolution of the human mind. Using the savanna hypothesis as a case study, it introduces the concept of stylization bias and argues for a more historically grounded integration of paleoanthropological evidence into the discipline’s methodology.
