the main problem with evolutionary physiology is that these people spend most of their time in the past, trying to work out why we do things and behave the way we do. all good but very limiting in terms of evolution. i say look forwards, take the leap into human potential not limitations, what are we capable of exactly, we know very little about anything, evolutionary phycology is a speculative science, we can't know, it's mostly guesswork, in fact most science is just a process of deduction by elimination. the future is speculation as well but we can direct it, knowing where we want to go in our own psychology, navigating ourselves to get there, changing our brains neural network, plasticity is the new trend in brain science, magickians have known this for years, in fact dr.hyatt calls magick 'brain change.'
the magickian is not concerned with the past unless we can learn from it to adjust the future.
