Moreover, having such a bodily architecture is, according to the evidence from genetics, to a significant extent the result of developmental programmes that ground in gene regulatory networks (GRNs). These are stretches of non-coding DNA that regulate gene transcription. GRNs are modular, more or less strongly entrenched structures. The most highly conserved of these tend to be the phylogenetically most archaic (Carroll 2000; Walsh 2006: 436ff.; Willmore 2012: 227ff.). The GRNs responsible for basic physiological features may be taken, in a fairly innocuous sense, to belong to an evolved human nature.Importantly, purely morphological features have generally not been the explananda of accounts that have gone under the rubric "human nature". What has frequently motivated explanatory accounts thus labelled is the search for underlying structures responsible for generally shared psychological features. "Evolutionary Psychologists" have built a research programme around the claim that humans share a psychological architecture that parallels that of their physiology. This, they believe, consists of a structured set of psychological "organs" or modules (Tooby & Cosmides 1990: 29f.; 1992: 38, 113). This architecture is, they claim, in turn the product of developmental programmes inscribed in humans' DNA (1992: 45). Such generally distributed developmental programmes they label "human nature"What was the purpose of the study?List research questions (if available) or Aims Purpose:Research Questions/Aims:Qualitative Research DesignLevel of Evidence What was the qualitative design?Level of Evidence: Describe the sample.How were the participants recruited?Describe how informed consent was obtained. Sample:Recruitment of participants:IRB Approval:   Yes ¬¬¬¬¬____   No ____Informed Consent:Data Collection Describe how data was collected:Data Analysis Describe how data was analyzed:Findings Describe the findings:Strengths & Weaknesses of the Qualitative Study Identify 2 strengths:1.2.Identify 2 weaknesses:1.2.Implications for Future Nursing Practice Describe implications for future nursing practice:Overall critique of the study (describe in a concise paragraph):This conception raises the question of how analogous the characteristic physical and psychological "architectures" are. For one thing, the physical properties that tend to appear in such lists are far more coarse-grained than the candidates for shared psychological properties (D. Wilson 1994: 224ff.): the claim is not just that humans tend to have perceptual, desiderative, doxastic and emotional capacities, but that the mental states that realise these capacities tend to have contents of specific types. Perhaps an architecture of the former kind—of a formal psychology—is a plausible, if relatively unexciting candidate for the mental side of what an evolved human nature should explain. Either way, any such conception needs to adduce criteria for the individuation of such "mental organs" (D. Wilson 1994: 233). Relatedly, if the most strongly entrenched developmental programmes are the most archaic, it follows that, although these will be species-typical, they will not be species-specific. Programmes for the development of body parts have been identified for higher taxa, rather than for species.A further issue that dogs any such attempts to explicate the "human" dimension of human nature in terms of developmental programmes inscribed in human DNA concerns Evolutionary Psychologists' assertion that the programmes are the same in every specimen of the species. This assertion goes hand in hand with the claim that what is explained by such programmes is a deep psychological structure that is common to almost all humans and underlies the surface diversity of behavioural and psychological phenomena (Tooby & Cosmides 1990: 23f.). For Evolutionary Psychologists, the (near-)universality of both developmental programmes and deep psychological structure has an ultimate explanation in evolutionary processes that mark their products as natural in the sense of TP1. Both, they claim, are adaptations. These are features that were selected for because their possession in the past conferred a fitness advantage on their possessors. Evolutionary Psychologists conceive that advantage as conferred by the fulfilment of some specific function. They summarise selection for that function as "design", which they take to have operated equally on all species specimens since the Pleistocene. This move reintroduces the teleological idea of a fully developed form beyond mere statistical normality (TP3).This move has been extensively criticised. First, selection pressures operate at the level of groups and hence need not lead to the same structures in all a group's members (D. Wilson 1994: 227ff.; Griffiths 2011: 325; Sterelny 2018: 120). Second, other evolutionary mechanisms than natural selection might be explanatorily decisive. Genetic drift or mutation and recombination might, for example, also confer "naturalness" in the sense of evolutionary genesis (Buller 2000: 436). Third, as we have every reason to assume that the evolution of human psychology is ongoing, evolutionary biology provides little support for the claim that particular programmes and associated traits evolved to fixity in the Pleistocene (Buller 2000: 477ff.; Downes 2010).1.
