摘要

Let us not ask whether the brain is "really" a biological computer. The more productive question is whether it is useful to think of the brain as a computer, one designed by evolution to solve problems of adaptation via specialized "circuits" and "architecture." Does this biocomputational approach, pioneered by Leda Cosmides and John Tooby (1) and then developed and expanded by them and others [such as David Buss (2, 3), Geoffrey Miller (4, 5), and Steven Pinker (6)] lead to theory and research that further our understanding of human behavior? Critics notwithstanding (e.g., ref. 7), the evidence of the article in this issue of PNAS (8), indeed, of the myriad books and research papers produced by the Cosmides-Tooby school of thought, is "yes." But, of course, there are caveats.
