Evolutionary psychology is too rarely characterized in ways that fully identify its fundamental commitments while avoiding the inclusion of inessential claims, inessentially strong emphases, or merely derivative tenets. This chapter characterizes evolutionary psychology as experimental psychology in a broadly computational framework, organized, unified, and heuristically guided by adaptationist nativism based on modern evolutionary theory. After identifying and rebutting some types of claims to the effect that evolutionary psychology is an inherently narrow research enterprise, the proposed characterization of evolutionary psychology is unpacked. First, the computational approach is explained and several inappropriately narrow conceptions of it are forestalled. Next, with the modern theory of natural selection in place, two kinds of adaptationism are claimed to be essential to evolutionary psychology: a core hypothesis about the extent to which natural selection has differentiated and shaped the human mind (ontological adaptationism), and an additional, multipronged claim about how psychology ought to be practiced, given the endorsement of this hypothesis (disciplinary adaptationism). The commitments involved in these claims are detailed, with particular attention paid to the nature of the computational adaptions posited. Evolutionary psychology as adaptationist-computational psychology is not a banal approach. Yet researchers who self-identify as evolutionary psychologists are far less narrowly doctrinally committed than is appreciated outside the field. The chapter points out various respects in which this is the case.
