Summary of La teoría evolucionista para comprender la mente humana | Daniel Sznycer

00:00:00 - 00:55:00

This video discusses the theory of evolution and how it can be used to understand human behavior. It explains how evolutionary theory has been updated with information from genetics and game theory to create a synthesis that is capable of explaining the evolution of organisms and human behavior in general. Georg Williams and Robert Dawkins are two prominent evolutionary biologists who are mentioned. One of the main problems with this theory is that some aspects remain unexplained, such as why certain variants of genes tend to be more frequent than others. Nevertheless, this theory is a valuable tool for understanding human behavior, and it can be supplemented with other empirical evidence to gain a more comprehensive understanding of human nature.

• 00:05:00 The video discusses the theory of evolution, which suggests that over time, specific genes that are more likely to survive will be more frequently passed on due to natural selection. This theory is supported by evidence from genetics, physiology, and psychology. Biologists who study human evolution have developed models to explain how cooperation could evolve. One such researcher, Anne Germain, discusses the concept of wave-down theory in depth, which posits that genetic variation can lead to variation in personality. Donald and Dave Evans, two researchers from the Renaissance period, discuss the role of genetics in the development of creativity. Michelangelo, the famous sculptor and painter, is also mentioned.
• 00:10:00 The painting on the right is particularly interesting because it was in the laboratory of them at the center of evolutionary psychology I believe that not coincidentally, to the right of the stages of human development and the outline of gods, a human brain and I believe that these types of Renascence and philosophical realists really are Lightman: they have an enormous intelligence, a great wisdom, and a deep understanding and seriousness when it comes to facing basic problems and is really an art, a beautiful art to see them thinking and being in the laboratory reading the production of them is really an art, in addition to knowing things about art and culture, it's wonderful to hear them. Just their scientific production, which they have, is what we are in this field or even those who are not in this field, I began this field not being in this field but I read these papers of these types and my hands were trembling when I realized that it was like experiencing religious experience The psychology of evolution is a step forward in the principle of the 20th century, but this is the standard model of science that for specific groups of humans
• 00:15:00 In this video, Daniel Sznycer discusses the theory of evolution and human behavior. He notes that while it is an "error" to believe that it is only a success because it increases the likelihood of genes that are deletes being expressed and passed down to offspring, it is still a theory that has some basis in reality. He points out that the main problem with this theory is that it is not an explanation, but something that needs to be explained. He also points out that there are a number of problems with the mainstream psychology framework based on this theory, including the fact that it is not intuitive and does not accurately reflect what we know about social sciences and economics. Sznycer suggests that we replace this theory with a model that is based on the work of Jonny and William James, which would be known as "mechanistic psychology."
• 00:20:00 The video argues that the theory of evolution explains human behavior, and that human behavior is based on adaptations that are specifically designed for certain things but bad for others. The Swiss Army Knife analogy is used to illustrate this idea. The idea is that, over time, the selective process will create complex mechanisms that are good for specific tasks, but bad for others. This is the metaphor for the "swiss army knife." The selective process will take longer than the time between the Agricultural Revolution and the Neolithic Era, which is 10,000 years. There are genetic changes going on in particular gene parameters over time, and some populations are adapted to milk while others are not, but adaptation will change it. The neurological circuitry for dealing with modern problems is going to take longer than the time between the Neolithic Revolution and the current day, and this is why we are prepared for ancestral problems, but not necessarily modern ones. For example, children in Chicago are afraid of predators (e.g. lions, tigers, etc.), but children in Guatemala, Argentina, etc. are more likely to die in car accidents or from electrocution, drowning, or being eaten by a lion. However, emotions, logic, and reasonings are all signatures of the natural selection process acting
• 00:25:00 The video discusses the theory of evolution and how it can be used to understand human behavior. It argues that, although human actions may seem to be caused by future goals, in reality they are caused by ancestral behaviors that have been selected for in the past. This theory is supported by the example of pornography, which is said to have a negative impact on human reproduction but whose consumption may actually increase due to its effect on evolutionarily-selected traits such as sexual arousal. Finally, the video discusses the work of Jonason and Laibson, which provides a theoretical framework for understanding the origins of human cognition.
• 00:30:00 The video discusses how the theory of evolution explains human behavior, with particular emphasis on the way humans reason and make decisions. One example is how a trader might reason about whether or not to buy or sell a stock based on the expected benefits and risks of the trade. Another example is how humans are able to reason about complex matters such as food choices and war. However, evolutionary viability of such trades is impossible because the expected benefit of a trade must outweigh the cost of the risk. This is why trading is said to be "inherently unstable," and why evolutionary progress in this field is hindered.
• 00:35:00 Daniel Sznycer, a neuroscientist, argues that the theory of evolution explains human behavior. He states that because of our evolutionary history, we are prone to making errors in reasoning and are bad at detecting cheaters. Sznycer also argues that evolution has created special mechanisms that allow us to detect cheaters in trade. This is an adaptive problem that our ancestors had to solve over many generations.
• 00:40:00 Daniel Sznycer discusses the theory of evolution and human behavior, and how it relates to the study of guests who live much longer than organisms that eat them from the inside. However, once pathogens break through a system's defenses, there is a biological advantage to producing offspring who are resistant. This paper is a fantastically well-done piece of research, and has implications for a number of fields within the human sciences. Sznycer also mentions some of his own research projects, including a study on the evolution of physical ability, and anger as a negotiation tool. He concludes the video by mentioning that many other researchers are working on similar projects, and that the general public should be excited about the future of psychology.
• 00:45:00 The video discusses the theory of evolution and its impact on the understanding of human behavior. One of the ways that evolution has shaped human behavior is by increasing the strength of emotions and expressions. For example, the face of anger is visible to the outside world, and is accompanied by various physiological responses, such as increased heart rate and blood pressure. However, one of the fascinating aspects of the face of anger is its arbitrary nature, or the ability to communicate complex messages with simple symbols. My friend, Baron, has a theory that anger is, in fact, communication of a person's ability to physically force others to comply. He conducted an experiment in which subjects were asked to guess which of two faces was stronger (based on their perceptions). The results showed that each of the seven muscles that form the face of anger were perceived as stronger than the face of anger in its normal configuration. Based on this finding, Baron's theory is that the expression of anger is not arbitrary, but rather a measure of the person's ability to communicate forcefulness with symbols. This complex message is then communicated via seven muscle movements. Today, it is much easier for someone to express their unorthodox views, as evidenced by the success of Jonathan Haidt and other "
• 00:50:00 The video discusses the theory of evolution and human cognition, and how it applies to the current cultural landscape. According to the speaker, the theory of evolution predicts that human beings will increasingly form coalitions in order to reach collective goals, such as making better decisions. He goes on to say that although a majority of psychologists believe in evolution, they are divided on its importance to human cognition. The speaker argues that this division is a result of the epistemological problem of gaining knowledge, and that it needs to be solved in order to move forward as a scientific community.
• 00:55:00 This video discusses the theory of evolution and how it can be used to understand the human mind. The students discuss how organic beings end up becoming either William Osborn or Daniel Sznycer, and how their views on life can differ greatly. They also give advice on how to dress, act, and think like a man. The students explain that there are several virtues that can be cultivated in a laboratory setting, such as strength, aggression, and focus. They also talk about the importance of socializing and discuss the pioneers of psychology, Steven Pinker and Edward Vasquez-Brown, who were both born in the 1940s. Finally, they share a video of a recent conference they attended in Miami, Florida, where they presented a paper on the evolution of human behavior.
