Evolutionary psychology is a fascinating science that will tell us so much more in the future. I knew something was causing me to drool, lol!!

“ In the distant future I see open fields for far more important researches. Psychology will be based on a new foundation, that of the necessary acquirement of each mental power and capacity by gradation. Light will be thrown on the origin of man and his history. ”
