Evolutionary psychology

The procedures and the way in which the plans are articulated are as relevant as the subject itself, that is, the design, the operational structure and the execution models are transcendent in that, if they are not properly articulated, the fund would not have any consequence. The quality of our actions reveals our true capacity. The quality of our actions shows our quality. Our behavior, oral and body language, as well as our way of dressing, personal hygiene, vehicle, house, watch and even the perfume we use, everything, absolutely everything, reflects who we are, how we feel and think of ourselves and others. It is the most genuine way we communicate with our fellow human beings. The correct communication between people is decisive for the adequate interrelation between them in a community, so the means used to perform this function are fundamental. Without an adequate means there is no communication. Without a proper form there is no function. The interior and exterior affect each other and it is not possible to take sides with one.What does a person communicate by smelling bad, being dirty, misaligned? When altering the container, is the content altered?, Altering the medium is altering the message? The psychological school of Gestalt devoted remarkable efforts at the beginning of the twentieth century to understand the issue of substance and form, starting from visual perception and thus shed light on how the human mind works, a subject of relevant importance for the science of law. The conclusion reached is that it is not possible to capture the background without the form, just as it is not possible to understand an idea without words or images. When the signifier is altered, so does the meaning. The new current of “evolutionary psychology” sheds new light on the matter by resolving that: the good and beautiful is not determined only by the processes of learning or culture, there is something in our nature that leads us to recognize as beautiful and good that which has some special function for our survival. Beauty fulfills an adaptive function that allows us to quickly identify what may be useful for the reproduction of our genes. Colors, smells, tastes, sounds or objects are pleasant or unpleasant to us depending on our evolution, not by themselves. The way we behave, speak, dress, gesticulate, etc., is part of the function because it is part of the message or the structure itself. Both belong to the same nature, rather than to opposite or complementary natures, the background is part of the form and the form is part of the background. So, you know, the next time you’re going to interact with friends, clients, or the opposite sex, remember that what you reflect is what you are deep down. As always a pleasure to greet you hoping that these few letters have been to your liking and, above all, useful, until next time!
