Talk:Evolutionary mismatch

Untitled

This is similar to what Simon Sheppard calls "invalidity of instincts" and "the basic problem" in The Tyranny of Ambiguity. He says that because of the existence of condoms which will set the costs of sex to practically nil, there is no biological reason why females should refuse sex with him, yet females have evolved instincts to limit the amount of sex they give to men and who they do it with. A clear example of mismatch theory.--X sprainpraxisL (talk) 12:05, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Modern Evolutionary mismatch

When evolutionary occurs at the social and technological level, the problem is more obvious and direct. This may be indirect evidence supporting the concept of psychological evolutionary mismatch.

Example

• Pre-Internet v.s. Internet and Education
• ChatGPT and Education
• National sovereignty and Global connected Internet
• National Laws and Popularization of Air Travel

Raised Issues:

• A student has good typing skills but poor handwriting skills. He learns many advanced concepts on the internet. However, he still receives poor grades in academics due to bad handwriting and struggles in paper-based exams. Should we consider him a good or bad student ?
• Students directly ask ChatGPT for assignment answers.
• A criminal break the law in the US but escapes to China.
• National Internet firewall and blocking issue, is it ethical ? If yes, what about the countries blocking political sensitive and religious topics ? If no, what about the countries not blocking counterfeit trading website ?

I think you're referring to the one centered around humans instead of just doing multiple species. I believe what should be said in this article is that this should have been noted as an occurrence for when you're environment and biology is different. ~2026-37020-86 (talk) 20:58, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
