The brain is linked to the environment of evolutionary adaptedness because evolutionary psychology asserts that the brain's functions can only be understood by analyzing the specific environment in which it evolved [1]. Furthermore, scholars argue that the brain, like other biological organs, must be studied in the context of its evolutionary environment to address skepticism regarding its development [2].
