How revolutionary is evolutionary psychology? Had no one else asked
phylogenetic questions about the human psyche before EP stumbled into the
picture as the drunken cousin of sociobiology? However erroneous, Jung even
contemplated a phylogenetic component to the psyche long ago. Interestingly,
evolutionary psychologist David Buss saw fit to include a contribution to a
very Jungian leaning book called _Evolution of the Psyche_ (1999. Praeger.
Westport, Connecticut. edited by David Rosen and Michael Luebbert) which
includes contributions from Jungian author and evolutionary psychiatrist
Anthony Stevens. Funny how the world turns back around.
And I wonder how puppet strings might differ between memes and complexes of
Jung's personal unconscious.
