I will also inquire critically into the basic ontological and epistemological assumptions of Interactionism. In the near future I plan to seek support from the National Science Foundation for a book length project in which I will discuss the development of Evolutionary Psychology. My primary focus will be a critical analysis of the theoretical foundations of Evolutionary Psychology. My working hypothesis for this project is that the Sociobiology of the 1970s and 1980s failed as an evolution-based approach to explaining human nature in large part because it was mired in a Determinist paradigm which is supported by neither empirical data nor underlying evolutionary theory. My early intuitions are that what lies at the core of interactionism is actually a timid form of Developmental Systems Theory.
Evolution is the unifying theory of all the life sciences.
The complete integration of disciplines such as psychology, sociology and anthropology into the evolutionary paradigm is inevitable. Nevertheless, that integration will transform evolutionary theory as well as the basic theoretical framework of the integrated sciences. I believe that this integration will drive the social sciences way from an interationist paradigm in the same way it is driving the biological sciences away from a determinist paradigm. The resulting joint paradigm is likely to be a Developmental Systems paradigm. This unification of our theories about the origin and development of morphological, psychological, and social variation among living organisms is very important and is a fascinating subject for study.
