Evolutionary psychology provides a cogent meta-theory for psychological science. Historical assumptions of prior meta-theories are fatally flawed and known to be empirically incorrect. Evolutionary psychology provides a sound scientific framework for understanding human nature—one that is consilient with known causal processes of all life forms, particularly natural and sexual selection. Empirical evidence continues to accumulate for the heuristic and predictive power of the evolutionary psychology meta-theory, supporting the case for a scientific revolution in psychology.
