Abstract
Abstract Gannon's critique of evolutionary psychology contains a number of misunderstandings which the present article attempts to rectify. These include the difference between natural and sexual selection, the unit of selection, genetic drift, different forms of systematic selection, the meaning of the term optimality, the working definition of an adaptation and the role of modularity. Gannon encourages consideration of the role of experience in contributing to the unique phenotype of every individual. The ways in which evolutionary psychologists have addressed this issue are discussed.
