A n original unifying theory of human evolutionary psychology



Coke R. Smith





Over 15 years ago, reflecting on the origin, persistence and universality of religious sin,

a straightforward solution appeared to explain this, and on further consideration, other

characteristic human behaviors. An overlooked general explanation to the puzzle of

human behavior seemed more satisfactory than the contemporary science of linear

non-evolutionary proposals.



Yet a number of elements of this solution lacked contemporary support or consensus.

Indeed, critical premises were being actively repudiated in academic forums. A

presentation seemed premature.



Over the interim, evolutionary science has advanced and mainstream human behavioral

discussions have developed a more stable evolutionary confidence. Affirmatively, the

following proposal has retained its explanatory power throughout diverse

multidisciplinary debates in an expanding science and in the notable absence of an

adequate alternate explanation.





This evolutionary theory of characteristic human behavior, Identity Theory , is entirely original and

antedates all cited evolutionary psychology references.
