Human Evolution and Fantastic Victorian Fiction
Anna Neill’s Human Evolution and Fantastic Victorian Fiction is bound to have different effects depending on who opens it. If the reader is an average literary scholar with an interest in science, the book will produce the warm fuzziness of familiar ideas unfolding familiarly.

Evolutionary Perspectives on Imaginative Culture
This volume offers an introduction to the relatively new field of evolutionary studies in imaginative culture, analyzing the evolved human imagination. Contributors from psychology, neuroscience, anthropology, and the humanities demonstrate that imagination is an essential part of human nature.

Both authors treat evolution as a semi-fictional construction that owes more to literary inspiration than to the scientific method, and they reduce literature to a battleground for ideologi…

This article applies a life history model to advance the evolutionary understanding of poetry that inspired nineteenth-century Swedish National Romanticism. We show that the characters featured in two of Erik Gustaf Geijer’s poems, “The Viking” and “The Yeoman Farmer” (1811), display patterns of time perspective, mating effort, and parental investment that are now recognized as central life history attributes: a fast strategy and a slow strategy…
A Cross-Disciplinary Survey of Beliefs about Human Nature, Culture, and Science
How far has the Darwinian revolution come? To what extent have evolutionary ideas penetrated into the social sciences and humanities? Are the “science wars” over? Or do whole blocs of disciplines face off over an unbridgeable epistemic gap? To answer questions like these, contributors to top journals in 22 disciplines were surveyed on their beliefs about human nature, culture, and science. More than 600 respondents completed the survey. Scoring p…
