          Abstract

          Resumen Se presentan los orígenes de la psicología evolucionista cuyos fundamentos se remontan a las obras de Charles R. Darwin (1859, 1871, 1872). En sus principales libros se encuentran referencias a la mente, el comportamiento y la cognición de los seres humanos y de animales no humanos. Darwin afirmaba que la teoría de la evolución contribuiría a entender mejor a la especie humana y su comportamiento y que la psicología podría estudiarse bajo una "nueva luz". Más adelante aparece la sociobiología de Wilson (1975) y, posteriormente, la psicología evolucionista (Buss, 1999; Cosmides & Tooby, 1992, 2005, 2017; Barkow, et aL, 1992), la cual propone respuestas frente a las limitaciones de la sociobiología. La psicología evolucionista es uno de los campos de investigación y teorización de mayor relevancia en las ciencias del comportamiento en estas primeras décadas del siglo XXI. El presente artículo analiza los orígenes de la psicología evolucionista, su desarrollo, sus logros, sus limitaciones y las críticas que ha recibido.

          Translated abstract

          Abstract In this article, the origins of evolutionary psychology are presented beginning with Charles R. Darwin's main works (1859, 1871, 1872). In his books, Darwin wrote about the mind, the behavior, and the cognition of human and non-human animals. He stated that the theory of evolution could contribute to a better understanding of the human species and its behavior and that psychology could be studied in a "new light". Many years later, Wilson (1975) introduced sociobiology as a discipline, and later, other authors set the fundamentals of evolutionary psychology (Buss, 1999; Cosmides & Tooby, 1992, 2005, 2017; Barkow, et aL, 1992). Evolutionary psychology has been one of the most relevant research and theorizing fields in behavioral sciences in the first decades of the 21st Century. The present paper analyzes the origins of evolutionary psychology, its development, achievements, and the criticism it has received.
