Evolutionary educational psychology

Evolutionary educational psychology is the study of how people learn. It looks at how the way we learn has been shaped by evolution, in other words, how our ancestors developed new ways to solve problems and pass on their knowledge to the next generation. It focuses on understanding why we learn certain things, and how we can best use our knowledge in different contexts. This can help us design educational programs that best meet the needs of all learners.
