报道了1975年8月在芝加哥大会上发表的APA总统讲话。城市人类被认为是生物进化和社会进化的产物。进化遗传学表明，当合作者之间存在遗传竞争时(对于人类来说，而不是对群居昆虫来说)，生物进化能够产生的对社会有益的、个别人自我牺牲的利他主义的程度受到很大的限制。人类城市社会的复杂性是社会进化的产物，不得不用抑制性的道德规范来对抗基因竞争不断选择的生物自私。由于问题如此复杂，可获得的数据又如此缺乏说服力，所有这些都应该更多地被解读为对心理学研究的一个重要新领域的挑战，而不是既定的结论。然而，需要强调的是，这些都是重要的问题，心理学应该给予更多的关注，而且有科学理由相信，在我们的社会传统提供给我们的信仰体系中，可以有深刻的系统智慧。(参考31/2页)(心理信息数据库记录(C)2006 APA，保留所有权利)
Reports the APA Presidential address delivered at the Chicago convention, August 1975. Urban humanity is considered as a product of both biological and social evolution. Evolutionary genetics shows that when there is genetic competition among the cooperators (as for humans but not for the social insects), great limitations are placed upon the degree of socially useful, individually self-sacrificial altruism that biological evolution can produce. Human urban social complexity is a product of social evolution and has had to counter with inhibitory moral norms the biological selfishness which genetic competition has continually selected. Because the issues are so complex and the available data are so uncompelling, all of this should be interpreted more as a challenge to an important new area for psychological research than as established conclusions. It is emphasized, however, that these are important issues to which psychology should give much greater attention, and that scientific reasons exist for believing that there can be profound system wisdom in the belief systems our social tradition has provided us with.
