Abstract

Psychology began as the part of philosophy concerning the soul. Scientific psychology is still struggling to abandon this historical legacy. I will discuss the ways in which psychology remains unjustifiably anthropocentric, and how and why it is finally undergoing the conceptual revolution needed to make it fully consistent with evolutionary theory.
