Abstract
This volume brings together a collection of seven articles previously published by the author, with a new introduction reframing the articles in the context of past and present questions in anthropology, psychology and human evolution. It promotes the perspective of ‘integrated’ social science, in which social science questions are addressed in a deliberately eclectic manner, combining results and models from evolutionary biology, experimental psychology, economics, anthropology and history.

I proposed that people in different cultures use the same implicit criteria for mental disorder, which derive from our intuitive psychology, sometimes called ‘theory of mind’ (Leslie et al, 2004)
Our intuitive psychology works on particular assumptions about the way minds work, how perception causes beliefs, how beliefs interact with intentions, how intentions explain behavior, etc
