1) Agreed.
2) They should.
3) I'm not concerned about job prospects.

So how do I do it?

>>9094568
no you sound worthless because you want to study a field and calling the main subjects in that field worthless. Also you think the study of genes and their influence is evolutionary psychology lol.

>>9094577
Define evolutionary psych for me.

>>9094581
why? what you're wanting to study is genetics.

>>9094573
>They should
No.

>>9094586
I fucked up. I've been reading the Red Queen, which heavily emphasizes genetics. I don't give a fuck about dna. I'm far more interested in the why behind human behaviors, and am strongly biased towards evolutionary psych descriptions.

>>9094587
Why shouldn't they?

>>9094591
Who let you in college? you sound stupid as hell.

>>9094650
Anon, there's no need to be rude on the internet

>>9094650
On a $20,000 scholarship too. My mother loved me anon, you'll have to try harder than that.

>Psychologists get paid a lot
>Geneticists get paid a lot
Evolutionary Pychologists should get paid a lot by my logic.

>>9094591
You can't understand evolution without understanding genes.

>>9094675
I want a mix of genes and behaviors.

Neuroscience?

>90% of biology is worthless

You must learn the 90% to abstractly understand the 10%

Currently studying for a PhD in psychology here in the UK, and I've never actually seen a taught course or even module in evolutionary psychology. That's not to say they don't exist, but it's considered a pretty niche area unfortunately. Your best bet is to just study regular psychology or biology/genetics (let's be honest, the latter is almost certainly better), and then using your college's academic journal access to read relevant papers (e.g. in Evolutionary Psychology, Journal of Evolutionary Psychology, Evolutionary Psychological Science, Frontiers in Psychology: Evolutionary Psychology). I'm sure there'll be lots of academic books on the topic too, which you should also have access to. That way you can become an expert, AND have a worthwhile degree in a subject you really need to be able to understand if you want to understand evolutionary psychology anyway (which you probably wouldn't get on a psychology course, which have a fairly low requirement for biology, in the UK anyway)

As much as it hurts this is 100% true. The last 10% is the good bits too.
