Abstract The evolutionary social sciences (ESSs) are thriving, and seem to have entered a period of normal science. This is a good time to examine our own practices, theoretical and empirical, and to ask how we might improve. Here I review papers published in the past five years in EHB to explore major trends in the field. Theoretically, the popularity of certain topics (cooperation, mating, life history) has led to great progress, but might have narrowed our theoretical vision. Empirically, most research is still conducted in WEIRD populations, with a smaller mode of research in small-scale societies, and very little in the middle. I offer suggestions for broadening our theoretical and empirical scope, centered around the project of constructing a representative map of the human psychological and behavioral phenome.

决定观察什么：后WEIRD一代的想法

摘要 进化社会科学（ESS）正在蓬勃发展，似乎已经进入了规范科学时期。这是检查我们自己的实践、理论和经验的好时机，并询问我们如何改进。在这里，我回顾了过去五年在 EHB 上发表的论文，以探索该领域的主要趋势。理论上，某些话题（合作、交配、生活史）的流行带来了很大的进步，但可能缩小了我们的理论视野。从经验上看，大多数研究仍然是在 WEIRD 人群中进行的，在小规模社会中的研究模式较小，中间的研究模式很少。我围绕构建人类心理和行为现象的代表性地图的项目提出了扩大我们的理论和经验范围的建议。
